The Transmission fluid in my l952 Ford 8N had a brownish color in it. I went to Tractor Supply and bought some All Mineral SAE 90 Ford Tractor Fluid. As I was pouring it in it appeared to me that it was very thick. It seems to me that you would have to run your tractor for quite awhile to let it warm up before you could begin to plow. I only put in 4 Gallons because I wanted to check with the experts on The Forum to see if it would be possible to thin this fluid out. Has anyone heard of using mineral spirits as a means of thinning it out? Will this thick fluid slow down the reaction time for raising & lowering my plow? I only use my tractor in the winter months when the temperature is below freezing. We are dealing with Lake Effect Snow at the moment here in Michigan. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks
