I'm just doing a full service on a couple tractors here..
I found some info here about what fluids to use, but I have never heard of them before.. like M1129 and M1127... those numbers mean nothing to me.
The MF255 (8 spd) has wet brakes, and had very dirty oil in the final drives, I'm assuming the final drives share the oil with the brakes? Is this a standard 80w90 gear oil or is it special?
Also, is there any other place to drain it other than at the final drive? Seems like there should be a drain somewhere for the brake side but I'm not seeing it
Power steering fluid.. a light weight hydraulic oil should be fine? I heard not to use Dextron because the seals don't like it.
Transmission I use Hydraul 56 which is a hydraulic/gear oil.. in the 165 with Multipower i used 68 weight, it doesn't run in the winter and has hard use in the summer
