This may be a basic one but, I'm green on the tractor wrenching. I want to change the oil and trans/hydro fluid. What is the easiest way to make sure all of the old fluid is out, and what is the best way to catch all 5 gallons of trans/hydro fluid? Also, what fluid is reccommended for the trans?

There are 3 drains for the Hydro Fluid. Start with the one under the differential, then the others. Remember that you have 5 gallons in there, some of the auto type drain buckets will not hold that much fluid. You will never get all of the fluid out, but not to worry. You can let the lift down all the way and that would get rid of most of the fluid in the cylinder as well. As to what kind of fluid to use will get you different answers. If you have a good tight hydro cylinder that does not leak down too fast, I would use the 134 spec hydro fluid. If you have some leakage, then I would use straight 90 weight gear oil. (SG1)
Happy Motoring

Just a footnote to what has been said. I loosen plugs first, have two 5 gal containers, one under small plug so you can put it back if necessary, one under large plug. I have started with a 5gal container and dropped the big plug and remembered that there was water and most likely too much gear oil and you can't shut off the flow from the big plug very quickly. I like 90w but its warm here, I can see where 134 would be nice in a cold climate.

Here's a trick you might want to try, in this pic you can see I've drilled and tapped the drain plug(s),this does 2 things, 1st I can bleed off any water that get's in the oil. and it makes draining the oil less messy.

later,dave

DAve, any reason NOT to do this with the oil plug too? I just "drained" my oil all over my nice white crushed rock drive. Methinks it would work just as well there if not even better (one drains a oil a LOT more fequently than hydro). Brent

It's a good one #1, I have purchased an extra plug and added the pipe plug so I can exchange drain plugs and modify all my Fords as I service them.
