Georgeky is correct, as usual. But with his kind permission, I'd like to add a couple of things:

(1) Be careful removing that plug! Sometimes there is a little residual air pressure inside the reservior and you can get it in your eyes! Hydraulic fluid is toxic, so be careful!

(2) Where is your leak? The hydraulic fluid is also lubricant for the pump. If you run the tractor with the fluid low, you can damage the pump. Fix the leak if it is at all convenient.

(3) This one will be controversial. Use genuine IH Touch-Control fluid. I used something else once and the paint immediately deteriorated inside the reservior!

Thanks everyone for the tips. I'll track down the leak and fix it, and try to find the subsitute fluid at NAPA.

Thanks very much!

Hambone, any good nondetergent motor oil will work. The original owners manuals called for SAE 10 nondetergent oil during cold weather, 20 thru 30 wt as temps increased. I use it in all my old farmalls, and have never had any problems in nearly 40 years.

There is no such thing as "IH Touch Control Fluid." It's been discontinued for at least 30 years, maybe longer. HyTran is the modern equivalent.

 Oh, yeah. in reply to Nat 2, 04-20-2007 11:49:35  
I do believe your right, of course. The stuff the dealer sells now is Hy-Tran.

I was having a senior moment.
