how transmission oil capacity
what kind of hydraulic oil should be used for a massey furguson 245
Back when that tractor was made, they probably said to use an SAE 10 or similar hydraulic oil. Now days, the Universal Hydraulic Oils that are available meet and exceed the specs on those older type oils. You should be able to get Universal Hydraulic Oil from about any oil distributor or farm supply store.
Universal Trans / Hydraulic Fluid (Some Wal Mart Locations, Any Tractor Supply, etc)
any hydraulic transmission oil such as Hy-tran Case IH or Hy-Gard John Deere
Go to your local parts store or fuel jobber and get a can of Tractor Fluid or your dealer and get OEM fluid. About 50 bucks a can but a lot cheaper than a hydraulic pump failure. Good Luck!
Hydraulic fluid is hydraulic oil.... as for the type you use, depends on your system. I used to own two tractor-trailer end dumps, and I actually used ATF rather than hydraulic oil. Check with the OEM for your hydraulic system before you do this, though.
The hydraulic reservoir on the case 730 should be in about the same area as the case 630......on the right side of the tractor at the rear of the engine and on what would be the bell housing is a large cap screw type plug. There should be a dipstick not too far from it....you add hydraulic oil there, if it is a case-o-matic. If it is a standard transmission, then the dipstick and the plug should be on the rear of the tractor around where the seat bolts on.
You will want to use a tractor hydraulic grease or lubricant. For the bearings you will want to use a high temp oil and for all other parts a multi-purpose grease will work. It is best to go to the dealer and see the type that they recommend.
That is a Kohler Command single cylinder, so 10W30 is the answer. It will run either, but the hydraulic lifters will be noisy
I've also been trying to figure this out but all the tractor shops that i have talked to say any weight is fine and the transmission is 80w90 gear oil. The fluid level must be 3.5 inches from the top of the reservoir.
