720 pto clutch oil question

chas036 · May 28, 2016

I have a 720D and I have to change the pto clutch oil. The book calls for 10wt oil. Going to Tractor Supply and auto parts stores, I can't find any straight 10 wt oil. Doing some research, I found home depot sells a hydraulic oil that is ISO 32 which is the same as 10 wt SAE. Also walmart sells a mobil hydraulic oil that is 10 wt. My question is, can I use hydraulic oil like this in my pto clutch?

The best oil for the PTO clutch is one designed for wet clutches that meets JD spec J20D. I got five gallons of 87105 oil from NAPA for about $85. Search at NAPAONLINE.COM for 87105.

Type F auto transmission fluid, or Mercon,,the clutches are similar to those used in a car transmission and the thinner oil will run cooler, I have been use it for years with no regret.
