I have a 4500 ford backhoe , I believe these were made 1965 to 1974. I'm not sure what lube goes in the transmission . It is a manual trans. with D1 and D2 and R1and R2 with a second shifter for low and high . Some of the tractor places say that tractor uses 134 D hydraulic oil in the transmission and rear end . I am wondering if they are confused because some of these tractors came with a select a shift trans., that I assume was automatic . I saw a post on here a while back about the 4500 trans. fluid and someone replied that their manual called for 90 w gear oil in the trans. I had much rather use that since the tractor is old and leaks but I dont want to damage it with the wrong lube . Does anyone know what fluid goes in the tranny ? The numbers under the hood are 4501C Does any one know what the 1C is for , It might be IC . Thanks
