I just got my 53 td-6 running after about 20 years of sitting. now i plan to use to for some disking. before doing that i would like to make sure all the lubrications are good. i plan on greasing everything, checking track tension, so on. and change all the filters and oils. as far as i have found the napa filters are 1155 for oil and two 3148 filters for fuel. what are the oil compacities? for engine, and are the transmission and finals all connected and a common sump? or do you change all those oils seperatley?
 
I believe the finals are separate from the trans and ring and pinion. The track clutches are between them. 85-140 Gear lube is operational.
15-40 for the engine. Jim
 
Well in all honesty a manual would be a great idea . Not being mean , just say'n I'm sure I'll miss something . Here goes . Trans 4 gal , sprocket drive hsg 2 pints each side , crankcase 9 quarts , injection pump 1/2 pint , air cleaner oil cup 2 3/4 pints . Button heads on front idlers , track idlers , and track rollers . Grease fittings on : water pump shaft ,track frame guide rollers , 5 different places on steering linkage x2 sides , track pivots , track frame diagonal braces , front engine suport , fan hub bearing , 5 places on engine clutch , both steering clutch pilot bearings . I'm sure I missed something . The books are worth it honest .
 
that was plenty of information thank you!! i was going to use 15w-40 for the crankcase and some universal tractor oil of some sort for the others? does that sound about right. i am on the central coast of California weather wise. i have the original manuals, lots of them. but they are mostly parts manuals and have seen better days
 
Universal oil was not used As I stated below, I believe the Finals and trans use 85-140 multi wt gear oil. Originally specified as 90wt gear oil.
If it looks thick as heavy cold pancake syrup, it is the thick oil. Jim
