I need to add some hydraulic oil to my WD, and I see that the manual says "for above 45 F, use SAE 20, and for below 45, use SAE 10"... Well, does anybody have any idea what I can use? I know a neighbor said he uses the same 10w30 he uses in the engine for his hydraulics. Didn't know if I actually should get SAE 10 (can be hard to find here, I think) or if I should find some sort of universal hydraulic fluid (or if mixing that with whatever is already in there would be bad).
Also, apparently there are two different fill plugs for the tranny/diff (but 3 drain plugs)? Do you just fill the tractor until it is full to the top of the plugs, or is there some sort of fill mark without draining and refilling the whole thing? Was going to use some 80-ish weight oil in that. The manual says "fill to level plugs", but I only see it call out the 2 fill plugs in the lubrication manual. Where are the "level" plugs for this system?
Also, anything else I need to grease with regular grease, like the clutch? Also, I think the PTO is lubricated from the tranny/diff reservoirs, but are there some grease zerk fittings on it I should hit up as well?
