[AT] MF 135 Hydraulic Q.

[charlie hill]

Cecil, on Allis tractors you check hydraulic fluid with lift rams fully 
extended.  Is it the same on MF stuff or does it matter?

David if you have a Tractor Supply store they will have the hydraulic oil. 
The common brand is called Hy-Tran.  or something
like that.  It is usually in yellow and green 5 gallon buckets.  you'll also 
find that at Autozone, Advance Auto and NAPA, Carquest, etc.
If you look at the back side of the bucket (opposite the big label) there 
will be a list of applications (different tractors) written there.
There are 2 or 3 common grades of fluid.  Just look until you find MF 35 on 
one of the buckets.

Someone else might be able to tell you the weight of the correct one.

Charlie

There should be a dipstick on the left side under the seat in the middle
of a round cover plate with about 6 bolts.  It should be within the
lines on the stick. Universal tractor trans-Hydraulic fluid and
available at all 3...   Water should be within 1 inch of the radiator neck.
