posted this in tool talk, they sent me to
you...
ok so i have this old prime mover skidsteer,
vintage 1982. previous owner was running hy-
tran hydraulic fluid in it. i am replacing one
of the drive motors new. trw-ross motor. main
pump is a sunstrand sauer. the owners manual
(finally found one) said to use 10w40 se/sf
rated motor oil. it is an old rating. guy at
the hydraulic shop recommended i run 10w40
motor oil mixed 50/50 with dextron 3
transmission fluid. he said the trans fluid
will add anti foaming and anti wear additives
to the oil. any thoughts???? the main pumps are
axial piston pumps.
