[Farmall] IH Hy-Tran Fluid

[Arthur Umland]

    You are probably right Steve, and it is just a personal issue on my 
part. But as I mentioned to Carl, all my past experience leads me to 
think one would want a heavier weight lubricant then 10 W hydraulic 
fluid in a gear case! I think I will drop in on my local IH dealer this 
morning.
