Oil & Fuel Which Oil to use in the transmission?? Nortrac 254

[Amez]

I use Pennzoil Gearplus 80W-90 GL-4. According to the data sheet it is yellow metal compatible.

Can you tell me how to change the oil in the transmission and in the transfer case?
Thank you!

Use the 80W90. I have a 254 and use the same Coastal stuff and it quited it down quite a bit. My tractor is pushing 500 hours and zero tranny or front axle problems. I changed it at 50 hours then again at 350 hours.

I use the same 80W90 in my gear boxes on my post hole digger, finish mower, bush hog, ect. I buy it in a 5 gallon pail and got a hand pump for it from TSC the fits on top of the bucket and has a dispensing hose.

Used the same, Coastal 80W90. It came from Nortrac with 40W non detergent oil, they claim it shifted easier in cold weather. I have not seen any difference. I pulled the hi/lo shifter plate off and checked the hole that goes into the main transmission, it was partially open, cleaned it and filled it with the cover off, much easier.
