Hey guys, I just called 3 Massey dealers here in KY and got 3 different responses as to what type of fluid I should use in the tranny of my TO35. One said GL-1 mineral oil, one said regular GL-5 80w90, and finally one said to use Massey's proprietary "Permatran" fluid. It seems that the Permatran is the safest bet, It costs a little more than regular tractor/hydraulic fluid.

As a Final note, Big Dean says that the GL-1 is correct for these tractors, but sometimes the paraffin in this oil will gum up valves. He says the modern Perma-Tran 3 is acceptable as long as your hydraulics are in good shape. Big Dean is a retired MF mechanic, there's a link to his helpful website in one of these forums. Thanks everybody!!

lance...you put what you want in your tractor, but the M1103 SAE-90, straight mineral oil from massey ferguson is the oil specifically made for your machine. GL-1 is just the Napa version of it. perma-tran IS what the later model MF's use, like the MF 100 series tractors. the other recommendations on this thread for cold climates work well too....and the info that has been sent to you on this "FERGUSON" forum is coming from people very knowlegable about ferguson model tractors. do what you think best.
