[AT] Gear case oil: If a little is good, a lot is better?

[Al Jones]

On the newer IH tractors, 06-86 series, IIRC one way to help diagnose
some hydraulic problems was to add 5 extra gallons of Hy-Tran to the
system.  If the problem went away, it let you know there was an internal
leak somewhere.

If your seals are all good, I can't see why extra oil would be a
problem.

Time to pull the PTO housing off my 1950 M Farmall and see if I can
figure
out why the engagement lever won't move.  Operator's manual says the
capacity of the transmission and differential case is 13 gallons.  I
just
drained 18 out of there... had to scramble around to find something to
put
it all in.  I can see there being a little more than the book number,
but
five gallons more??
