I have a TE-20 Ferguson. There is an oil plug in the centre/top housing of the steering housing (kind of part of the transmission housing).I currently have the transmission drained (all 3 plugs) and there is still some oil in that steering housing so I don't believe they are connected. How high should I fill that steering housing with Hyd oil-to that plug or somewhere below? My service manual doesn't talk of the capacity of that housing. Thanks

The filler plug you refer too is for the steering box only...the one to fill the gearbox transmission/hydraulics is a large one close to the bottom of the gear lever on top of the transmission, if is is completely drained, just add 24 quarts of GL1 90W oil or 15W-30 Multi-grade and that is it..no need to check it just pour that amount in....it takes a while to level out so don't be tempted to add more it will take a couple of hours to level out, maybe more if its cold. The steering box should be filled right up to the bottom of the plug hole with engine oil. From empty the steering box holds 5 imp. pints, if you want to change the oil in the box you will have to suck it out or take it off the tractor.Fill with engine oil NOT thin hyd oil

Yes you can, the only thing you have to be careful of is that Multi-grade has some detergent in it and if the housings are dirty this will all break up because of the detergent eventually and be carried around the system, but if the housings are clean the oil will be better as it is thinner when cold which is a problem in some areas. Having said that I am assured by the oil Company I checked this with that all oils contain some mix of chemicals now and there is no pure mineral oil as we know it in the Ferguson world.
