New Holland compact tractor Hydrauilc/Trans fluid question

Guys - I'm in a bit of a bind.

My friend's got a new holland "boomer 40" that he uses with a small haybine.

His hydraulics stopped working. I checked his fluid level - dipstick on the trans shows nothing, I would guess that's his problem.

He can't find his manual - and I'm suprised I can't find any info online, but I can't. Nearest dealer's really far away, and I want to avoid that ride since there's a TSC five minutes away.

I'm not up on the newer tractors and fluid specs.

Does anybody here happen to know if Mystic jt-5 is appropriate for this tractor?

His tractor's over 300 hours, and should have a full change soon - but we just need to get him up and running NOW.

Is it ok to top off with the Mystic? I obviously don't want to risk killing his tractor.

When we do the full change I'll recommend he take the ride and get the new holland stuff, just really not a good option right now.

Any quick help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
I meant to add - there's a chance he'll ignore the need to change it, and go another three years with whatever I put in there.

that's my main concern about getting it right.
 
Is this a hydrostat?

If so, do not use anything but the recommended oil. Hydrostat transmissions are not tolerant of improper oil.

CNH specifies CNH AMBRA. Anything that meets the same spec should be OK in a pinch.

Dean,

I can't see anywhere in the mystik documentation that clearly says it does meet the NH ambra specs, I'm googling away and not having any luck so - I guess I have to say it doesn't.

I'll have to spend a couple hours in the car to get the proper stuff...

but first I'm going to wait here a little longer for somebody else to come along and tell me to stop over thinking it and just dump it in.

Anybody?

(just kidding of course).
 
The three models of Boomer tractors CNH had tested at Nebraska had "New Holland M2C134D" lubricant in the transaxles. Those were a 4060, 4055 and a 3050.
 
Pick up the phone and get the dealer to give you the spec. Personally, if it were me I would get the OEM oil and not be the scapegoat if the TSC oil winds up creating more problems. I don't know how much damage has been done by running low but there may be new problems due to that even after the new oil is put in. Sounds like a leak on the haybine took the oil level down so that needs to be addressed as well.
 
Yeah - I'm going to make the trek for the oem stuff. Total pain in the butt. He's off doing something else and can't do it himself...

what are friends for... rrrrg.

Actually I think the problem's a little bigger than just a leak - I guess he's been using this haybine between different tractors (a john deere) - not sure if the fluid spec is the same between them, but somehow I doubt it.

He probably switched it while it was in the down position - transferring fluid from one to the other.

But worse than that - he's been cross pollinating fluids so to speak.

I better press him to do a full refill - and limit its use to one tractor.
 
wait a minute... somehow I just found a new page about the mystik jt-5 I hadn't seen before...

http://www.docs.citgo.com/msds_pi/590906.pdf

says it DOES meet that NH spec...

well - now that I've mentally accepted that I'm doing the ride anyways, I'll call the dealer and see what they have to say... I think we all know what that answer will automatically be - which is why I asked here first before calling. but you never know.

Thanks guys.
 
i'd run the new holland dealer oil. if you dont and the hydraulics take a dive, its gonna be your fault for putting the wrong oil in it.
 
Is there a neighbor, that might have enough oil. Till you can go get the dealer raping. If it is under warranty you need to use the dealer oil till it expires.
