Oil Capacities for the transmission/ rearend.

Big John H · Dec 20, 2015

I looked into the transmission and I can see the oil but the gears stick out above the oil level is this ok and if not how fill should it be? Can I hurt it if I OVER fill? Thank you in advance.

Correct capacity is 6 US galls. BUT in these old tractors, often the seals on the Axles shafts are worn and the oil can run through. Fill the Transmission until oil JUST runs out of the bottom screw hole on either of the round side plates. This will keep the oil away from the leaking seals and off the Brakes.
Use Multi-grade 10W/30 this does not get as thick and heavy as the original grade of oil in cold weather.

10/4 on what John uk said

That 90 weight mineral gl-1 oil gets very thick and hard to pump in cold weather

At this stage in the life of these old tractors, detergent verse non detergent oil in the transmissions is a mute point.

What tractor do you have??? TO-30 is 6 gallons, TO-35 is 8 gallons.
