My Uncle just bought a 1956 JD 40s and is wondering what are the recommended oil weights and fluid type for the engine, trans, and hydraulic system. We are in South, GA so temps can run low to 20F winter to 100F summer. Are the trans, brakes, and lift all oiled as one like later deeres or are they different? Any thougts, comments, or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

My 1955 40U runs 30W motor oil in the engine, 10-30W motor oil in the hydraulics, JD 85-140W gear lube in the transmission and final drives. Don't forget to check you PTO shaft housing, as they are often full of the same stuff as the gearbox (i.e. water, sludge, and oil).
Temps here in Bakersfield run 30 deg minimum to 110 deg in the summer.

Lee, I would run 10W30 or 40 in the engine, brakes are dry, put 90W or whatever you have for gear oil in the transmission, I think 30W is used in the hyd, you can use hyd oil if you like . If you want to be 100% correct there would be some different [correct oils] but these will work without having to go out and look for something different than what you might have on hand and having to make a special trip around town to find them .

The book calls for 10W oil in the lift. It is available from JD dealer. Called Torq Guard. Probably others that could be used too.
