I have a manual for SH but no reference for this stage II system. Also I lost O-ring from hyd maniflod that bolts to pump.Is it suitable to just match up new ones at NAPA? thanks ,Randy [Reply]   [No Email]

Unlike the belly pump you don't have to worry about leaks from the 10 weight equivalent fluid. [Reply]  [No Email]

If $$$ are that important, get the generic "Hytran compatible" fluid at Tractor Supply, WalMart, or whatever farm supply is nearby. Deere's Hygard is also made to the same spec, so if you've only got green dealers nearby that's an option too. Frankly, I've had a hard time finding "non detergent" motor oil in anything but generic brand quarts. [Reply]  [No Email]

That system would function on a straight weight oil. Hytran wouldn't hurt it, but why spend the extra money unless you don't care about money.. [Reply]  [No Email]

Hook up to one of those and your engine oil just contaminated the system. [Reply]  [No Email]
