1948 wd45 fluids

molinebob · Jun 14, 2019

Working on what we believe is a 48 wd45, wondering what fluid the rear end takes and also if it is the same fluid as the hydraulic system on it? it has the factory 2 point I think is what they call it. also how much fluid would it hold. Thanks for any and all replies. Bob

The WD45 did not come out till the 50s. If the engine has a bolt on plate on the right side it is a WD engine and if the shiftier is straight that also says WD. As for fluids the UTF will work just fine but back in the day the rear would have had 85W-90 and the hyds hyd fluid or 20W oil. Serial number is on the left rear end housing just below the brake cover

You are correct, serial number states it is a 1954. Anybody know what the hydraulics capacity is and the rear end capacity is...thanks for any and all help

Transmission/rear end is 17 quarts as per the I-T manual

Mine has (since New) ...85-140 in Diff.
90 wt in trans.
10-30 wt engine oil..

NOTE:
NEVER allow the tractor get too low of oil in the Hydraulics reservoir , the seal at the front will be ruined and will leak until you repair it..!!
If it leaks there, you will know what happened..!
