I know this has probably been asked on here before. But what kind of oil should I use in my 800 for the caseomatic. Thanks for all and any input.

I just went through this on a thread i started asking the same question about 2 months ago. After tons of input and lots of research, I decided to go with the CASE TCH fluid. I have a 1959 Case 801B. Yes, a 5 gallon buck of TCH set me back $100, but the non case stuff was still like $50, and is $50 in savings worth the chance of turning your clutches into a pile of wet mushy fiber? Because now you are going to be taking the whole think apart and replacing the clutches, which I am sure will cost more than the $50 you are saving. Also, it isn't like you will have to change it every month or something like that. A lot of these newer oils have detergents in them that oils back then didn't, and the clutch disks do not like some of the detergents. Read the post "What Rotten Luck." Toward the bottom, Brokengun talks about a tractor he put non case oil in, and the clutches all came apart. Some people may get lucky and put a non case fluid in that works, but it never seems to work out all that well when I try to take the chance. My 2 cents. Good Luck!
