I'm restoring a 1948 Farmall Cub. I completed a overhaul of the Touch Control unit and I'm now wondering about what fluid to use in it. Some mechanics
say to use the same oil as the engine, in case the hydraulic pump develops a leak and I end up with hydraulic fluid in the crankcase. Others say to use
hydraulic fluid. All o-rings and gaskets have been replaced so are not likely to be deteriorated by contact with modern hydraulic fluid but I am
concerned about engine oil contamination. Any input is appreciated.
