720 power steering fluid ??

[nl00sb]

720 rc power steering fluid/oil what is a good fluid / oil to use on these and how much do they take as the front pedistole and pump have
been rebuilt ???

 

[wore out]

The power steering AND the tractor Operator's Manual list the oil capacity at 5 quarts.

Some of us prefer to use genuine John Deere power steering oil for tractors prior to 1960, Part Number (AF2253R), others report success with HY-GARD hydraulic and transmission oil, or generic UTF, or even automotive power steering oil. Personally, since you've spent the time and money to overhaul it I would use the genuine DEERE OIL.

wore out is correct. Use John Deere Two-Cylinder Power Steering Oil.. But the JD
part number is AF2235R?? John Deere dealer has quarts on hand.. Good stuff for all these
years...

I have used other oils in the old 2 cylinder Deeres, but I agree with wore out and Jim on Deere oil for a newly rebuilt system. If it was rebuilt right, you won't need to add any more oil for a couple of decades.
