Adding a John Deere

Looks like I have addded a John Deere to the fleet. The price and location were very good so I bought a 2140 with 146 front end loader. I have never driven such an easy steering tractor. It will be a big improvement over the old Massey which has had weak steering, pto and no brakes for years now. Nearly 8000 hours on the 2140 but everything (except the lights) seems to work. I want to do an oil change on the engine and trans/hydraulics and wondering if there is any reason not to use Case-IH hytran plus oil as I do in every other unit on the farm?

I have a MF, and I buy some different brand of fluid instead of the official Permatran III. But the stuff I buy says on the rear label, meets or exceeds a number of equivalent fluids, including meets or exceeds Permatran III. I'd look at the label if I were you.
 
I hope the previous owner used only JD hy-gard hyd. oil or else you are in for a lot of troubles.
No way would I ever use anything else ! Seen and heard of too many horror stories of what happened when wrong oil was used.
 
I have been doing some research and it seems you can use hy-gard in place of hy-tran but not vice a versa.
 
(quoted from post at 16:54:29 10/04/17) That tractors in beautiful shape by the way Rusty!

Thanks, I thought it was pretty nice for an 81 model with that many hours. It has the same engine as my 2360 swather (plus a turbo) so I know how good that one is.
I am leaning towards JD Hy-guard oil now.
 
The brakes on the 4020 seem to howl at times so replaced the IH oil(brother works for IH dealer) with JD oil and brakes are quiet now.
