Hydraulic and Transmission Fluids

[5 Forward]

I know this has been hashed out more than once, but what does everyone use in a 55 Ford 600? Hydraulic and Transmission.

You can put 80/90wt in the trans and rear end and hydraulic fluid in the middle hydraulic section as shipped from the factory... or you can simply run.....

just about any Universal Tractor Hydraulic fluid that you can buy.... will meet and EXCEED what came in that tractor for all three. And since there is no record of failures from using the factory recommendations in the 65 years of using those fluids... your pretty safe.

You can also go out and buy the $120 full synthetic stuff and it will not last any longer at this point..

ymmv.
