Could someone explain the difference between a "tractor hydraulic fluid" and a "r & o hydraulic fluid" ??? are there examples where R&O is only to be used ??? I've got a couple of tractors that use THF and I am familiar with it. also familiar with car / tractor / truck maintenance. not familiar with "R & O", however. my in-laws have a MF 202 front end loader / backhoe that calls for the use of mineral oil in the trans/differential and hydraulic systems. I need to change out every fluid in the tractor do to marginal maintenance. question is what fluid to use in the (1) hydraulic system, (2) transmission / differential, (3) power steering fluid (the book calls for type "A" ATF, for what it is worth). the manual I am looking at was printed in 1963, so I assume that fluids have changed a little in the last 40 years !!! additionally, I need to get oil, hydraulic, air, etc. filters. no cheap parts here, please !! any suggestions on where to get quality items at a better price than the dealer, or should I just go to the local dealer and save the shipping ?? lastly, are the extended life coolants a good or bad choice for this unit. I regularly change my truck's coolant, but this unit will rarely get changed, thus the thinking on the better coolant. I will flush the system real well prior to putting new coolant in. email me at [email protected] with questions / comments / ideas ... many thanks !!! steve

I remember when I was a kid my dad sometimes would tuck my brother and I in at night and we would ask him questions about his childhood on the farm. To this day, it's some of the best stories I've ever heard. And now, I'm so glad that I asked those questions, and if I were a little smarter i
