Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil
ISO 46, SAE 30
AMSOIL Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil is the modern lubricant for modern
farm and industrial equipment. Engineered specifically to meet the tough applications of
heavy-duty, hydraulic-powered operations. Exceeds the performance requirements of
virtually every piece of modern machinery. Provides exceptional lubrication to reduce
wear, resist heat, protect against rust and extend fluid and equipment service life.
wayne :
Most times you refill thru the dip stick hole
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
hello
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
The only dipstick hole I can find is for the motor oil.
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
In front of the clutch. I can find no other hole, so far, behind the clutch.
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
hello
wayne :
how do you check your trans fluid, by sight glass ??
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
No sight glass
wayne :
is their a breather cap on the top of trans ??
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
no
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
not to be smart, but if it were obvious, I would have already found it.
wayne :
and your sure no dip stick...... must have a way to check fluid
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
If there is, I have not found it.
wayne :
let me look in to a little more
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
Do you have any manuals or have you ever seen a IH 586. From photos, the 686 seems similar
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
I have looked for manuals on the I-net without results. This is a 60's tractor, about 58 HP.
wayne :
OK, I have called a friend of mine and he said under the seat is a plug/dip stick tube
wayne :
did you look under the seat ??
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
I have tried to look there, but the seat covers pretty much everything and is supposed to slide, but it is pretty well frozen in place
wayne :
According to my friend that is where it is, your going to have to get that seat freed up
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
Let me pursue this, and I will get back to you.
wayne :
OK, Thank You
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
I found a filter plug under the seat, so I suppose that is where you put the oil in. I have no way to measure how full it is and if it is going into the correct compartment.
JACUSTOMER-8118ulo6- :
There are two sections of the transaxle joined together with each having a drain plug and the filler hole is located on the rear ward section, so I am going to have to see if adding oil to the rear section, runs out the hole in the front section before I can be confident that I have everything back correctly.
