Hydraulic Fluid

[W]

Does anybody know what is the best hydraulic fluid to use in a case 1370

According to the dealer, Case-IH Hytran Plus. I did notice that I had less brake chatter with it than with the generics.

There is an additive you need each time you change differential fluids. Your Case dealer has it on the shelf. It's essential to prevent brake chatter. Oh , I also recommend Hytran for all Case applications

I used a store brand hydraulic-transmission fluid from the local farm store for a Super C and the hydraulics would hardly work. I went to the Case-International dealer and bought some of the HY-TRAN and my hydraulics worked fine. There is a difference.

Speaking of hydraulic oil, this post made me chuckle. I meant to stop by the TSC yesterday to pick up 5 gal of Univ. Hyd. Oil for my Ford TLB but forgot. (Hyd reservoir was low due to a leaky seal.) Got to the property and put a small amount remaining in one can into the TLB and noticed a FULL can next to it in the field where I store the machine. Thinking to myself "idiot, you had a full can here all the time". Popped the top and started to pour into the reservoir but noticed it looked funny. Darn 5 gal can was full of water! Felt stupid, but I would have felt stupider if I had put any in the tank. Nowadays, I've got to double check EVERYTHING I do.
