The original subject was ford 9000 rear-end fluid level.
I am new to the forum and recently purchased a Ford 9000 tractor. I'm using some of the information from this forum to help with changing fluids, repairing leaks, etc. I drained the oil from both the transmission/rear end and the PTO housing using the drain plug information in the reply below. The tractor has dual power and I believe a combined transmission rear end since I only found one drain plug on the bottom of the casing. Tractor #C?8254, Model #H201M and unit #1107B.
A few questions:
1) I found the level plugs and the drain plugs for both the transmission/rear end and the PTO housing and the fill plug for the rear end. I am unable to find a separate fill plug for the PTO housing. While draining the PTO housing I loosened the rear end filler plug near the hydraulic connections. The oil ran faster without gurgling when the fill plug was out. Could it be that the same fill plug works for both the rear end and the PTO?
2) I refilled the transmission/rear end until it ran out of the level plug which is slightly below the hydraulic filter opening. This took about 10 gallons. There is another plug or bolt just above the elevation of the hydraulic filter, but I'm guessing that is not for the rear end/transmission level
3) When I drained the PTO housing, I removed about 6 gallons of fluid. The service manual says the PTO takes 4 quarts. I'm concerned because it appears the PTO shares a fill opening with the rear end/transmission and the oils are different.
4) After draining the PTO housing, I put my finger into the drain opening and felt some loose hard parts. I removed a spring about 4 long and a piece of copper stock about 5 long, 1/4wide and about 3/32 thick. The spring reminds me of a brake spring and the copper piece appears to be almost a semi circle ring shape with some texture in the metal. I have pictures of the pieces but have not figured out how to up load photos
5) I looked on line and found fluid recommendations which lists 134D oil and 17.3 gallons for the transmission and rear end combined
6) I have also found references that say the 9000 only comes with 1000rpm PTO. Mine has a 540rpm shaft and it runs my small square baler great.
7) I tried looking up the year using the tractor number, but the ? in the number is actually a scratch in the nameplate and I'm unable to read the number
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
