[Farmall] International 460 Utility

[mstrating]

Charlie V, I understand why you asked about the oil I used. If the 
computer doesn't work the first question should be "Is it plugged in!"

I appreciate the information. I used IH “HiTran”(?) purchased from my 
local Farm & Fleet farm store. I did work the cylinders in and out once 
but was afraid to run the pump any longer with the fluid drained. I will 
give it another try when weather is warmer. Maybe we will get a January 
thaw!
