Model 60 transmission oil

edinmo · Jul 23, 2015

Hate to get into this again but I didn't see anything in the archives. Has anyone used the TSC Hydraulic/Transmission oil #806600, all mineral SAE90 GL-1 in the two
cylinder JD's transmission and rear end? The container says it is for Ford Tractors mfg 1939-1952. $17.00 for two gallon.

Sae 90 gear oil also rated for hydraulic ?
Is there a live pto on the tractor. If so a wet clutch friendly oil in the transmission .will prevent ruining the pto clutch when the pto shaft seal fails.

Good Point. Thanks. It does have independent PTO.

Don't use the outdated GL 1. The cheapest modern oil is far superior to the best they had back then.

On a 60 as long as it's "Slippery" it's okay...I have dropped a lot of 50/50 water and oil out of them,,didn't seem to bother them...

GL-1 gear oil works just fine in these tractors. It's what I use in the transmissions of my old tractors. It seems to quiet a transmission that makes noise on multi-weight gear lube. I've also used 50 weight engine oil (practically the same viscosity) with good results. Mike

Some one gave me 3 drums of 3150wt gear oil,, I use it in the 60C,,those old straight cut gears are a bit different than modern gears...
