Looking for help on what the oil level and type should be for a Harry Ferguson TO030, 1951 or 1952. It does not have a dip stick, but does have a drain plug. Help would be appreciated Thanks Marv

There's a local farm supply store in Union, Missouri, named Dickey Bub's (I kid you not) where they sell bright orange, 2 1/2 gallon jugs of 90w and 80w mineral oil specifically for old Ford and Ferguson transmissions. Cost is about $14 for 2 1/2 gallons. It's the right stuff - definitely thinner than 90w gear oil, and no sulfur, either. The oil is packaged in Clinton, Missouri. I can't recall the name of the company at the moment - I can find out if anyone is interested.

Hey thanks for the info. We have a farm and Home here in West plains that sells it also. It has work out fine. I enjoy playing with the tractor and bushhog so far. I bought a blade at an sale on Saturday that I am overhauling now. Thanks again Marv

The hyd,trans,diff common area takes 6 gallons of 80/90W straight mineral oil. For cold weather(under 32 deg F) operation you may subutitute 40W The dipstick is located on the right side of the hyd area under the lift quadrant. If it's missing you can buy a new one from the parts suppliers listed at the left.

Thanks Ray! However this unit does not have a place for a dipstick. It has the plug on the top of the gear box and a plug on the side approximately 2/3rd of the way up. I thought maybe it was to gage the level of the fluid? no dip stick however. Any comment? Thanks again Marv

You sure it's a TO30? What's the serial number?

Hello Ray. I owe you an apology. I will learn not to question you in the future. I have gone over and over that quadrant you indicated the dip stick would be. I found it. It had the handle broke off and had been painted over. It looked like a plug. I appreciate your assistance. I will buy a new dip stick. thanks again Marv

Marv-

The straight mineral oil 80-90 wt. for the hydraulics can be bought at your local Massey dealer. It is # M-1103

Yes, be careful not to use 80 or 90 weight oil for a car; it's too thick. The stuff for the transmission and hydraulic systems, even though it may be called 80 or 90, is about the thickness of SAE50 oil for a car.
(Different types are measured at different temperatures, hence the different numbers.)
I know one type that is correct is Shell Donax TD. I'm sure there are many others but I remember that one as I just bought it a while ago.
