Folks got a 1964 Ford 2000 tractor. Currently running 134D hydraulic fluid in trans, hydraulic and diff. Hydraulic and diff show no signs of leaks. However I have a slow leak from trans. I have to add fluid every couple of weeks depending on usage and weather (leaks more during hot months). I ve posted question on leak before as it leaks from the inspection plate on bottom of trans housing. Been told need split tractor/replace seals just not ready to do that. After doing some reading on forum seen folks say to use gear oil 80-90wt in trans (and diff?). Again trans leaks more during hot summers and slower/less in winter months.
Bottom line: can I run gear oil in trans (and diff?) and will that possibly stop/slow trans leak due to heavier weight?
