[Farmall] International 460 Utility

[Mike Schmudlach]

Monte,
A word of caution.  The stuff at Farm and Fleet is not the same as the real
Hy-tran.
Case-IH's Hy-tran will actually absorb moisture.

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!
