I got a Case 850c, i changed all the fluids in it before i started doing heavy land clearing with it, and i used regular tractor hydraulic fluid for the transmission can converter. i kept having something bug me about it because a long long time ago i thought i read somewhere about dozers requiring a special type of fluid for the trannies otherwise you could burn your clutches?. So i was just double checking. If any one knows the correct oil that would be great, i wouldn't mind changing it again. after about 45 minutes of dozing with it, "clearing forestry for farming", the converter temps get king of up there. there is green, then yellow then red on the gage, about 45 minutes of heavy dozing, it rests between the green and yellow exactly. I am sure its fine but if there is a way, i would like to keep my oil as cool as possible to get maximum trans pressure so things last longer (especially the clutches or what ever) if you know what i mean... I did have the motor turned up a while back, which I'm sure affects my power train temps. i had it turned up last winter, so i never had a problem with the trans temps getting high until it started getting warm outside. its now 70 degrees fareignheight. Didn't know if their is a proper hydraulic tans fluid for it. if so, ill get it and change everything. Also, is there an oil cooler for trans oil? Does anybody know if its possible for me to add an oil cooler to the transmission? if i can, i will buy a very big oil cooler, with its own fan and put it in a custom spot. Sounds like a lot, but if i know its possible i will do it. I want my trans to remain as cool as possible while getting the most power out of it safely, I hope everyone Understands.
