Which hydraulic fluid...

[JC-jetro]

Hello,

I have a Ford Model 1920 purchased new in 1988 or so and I want to make sure I get the correct fluid for the transmission. I have misplaced the Operators Manual and can't find one on-line. I have a Tractor Supply nearby, do that have a good oil?

How can I be sure I am getting the correct fluid? I just replaced the brake disks and don't want problems because I put the incorrect oil in it.

Thanks,
Dpaul

Tractor Supply sells a brand called Mystick that meets ford 134 spec. That's what you'd need. I have used both NH and Mystick oil and have not had any Ill effect on my hyd system. Just read the label closely and it'll tel you wether it meets ford 134 or not. thay have different formulation for different brand under name Mystick.

JC,

For the price of mystik.. might as well get ambra G.

the regular travelr utf is way cheaper and meets the m2c134d spec that old 1920 called for... heck.. supertech oil from walmart does too.. but occasionally tsc has the traveler for 35$ vs the 48$ of supertech.

I've used both with no problems..

Thanks, they did not have enough Mystic today so I bought a couple five gallon cans of Travelers, it meets or exceeds the Ford 134 requirement. I have never changed the oil so I thought I had better get two buckets of it. If I don't need that much I can always use it later. It's going to be fun pouring it in the little hole!!!
Thanks,
Paul

little hole? should be a pretty decent sized fill-em-up bung on the trans cover. that and a big funnel and 5g should pour pretty good.
