i have this old 560 with a loader on it i got running. resealed the loader cyl's. as just wanted something to feed cows with. it sat a long time. so like a dumb azz i started it up without checking transmission for water. sure enough shifter was loose and water got in. so drained whatever water would come out now oil is milk.
SO... i will drain it and want to know if there is a problem to just fill it with say... 1/2 gear oil and 1/2 regular hyd. oil. i want it to be thin enough for the pump in winter. tractor will only idle around lifting a few bales in winter. not going to be used for pulling where it would matter for the differential. i want to basically just have hydraulic's working. right now with this oil it will not even pick up a bale "leon loader". dont want to buy and dump in new hytran oil as i already have this oil here. myself i dont see a problem using that mixture, or even just straight hyd. oil. i still will check the hyd. filters. what's the verdict on this?
