I have a medium size hydraulic fluid leak coming from just behind the instrument panel. I assume from the control block thing that's behind there. I need to pull the cover to check. I lost a good 4-6 quarts of fluid I think. I'm going to need more hydraulic fluid for sure.
I see that what to use is highly disputed here and in other forums. My problem is that I have checked around locally and there's no source for the hy-tran fluid. The CIH website shows my nearest dealership is in northern Alabama which is still over 100 miles. The prices aren't that great either at over $100 per 5 gallons.
I don't believe the tractor is using hy-tran currently. The fluid coming out has no dye or coloring. It came with the tractor so I have no idea what's in there, but I was under the impression that hy-tran is not clear.
Locally I have a Tractor Supply, a mahindra dealership, various autoparts stores, and a few places that work on trucks.
Personally I feel like companies like to put stickers on stuff and make bigger profits.
