Transmission oil

Postby Cstrock » Mon Aug 17, 2020 3:47 pm

I went to drain and change my transmission oil today On my super C and found no plug underneath. Anyone know what size bolt or where I can buy one.

Also there’s tons of debates on what oil for trans. Anyone got a simple answer that works. I live in South Carolina so it’s not cold. Any ideas

A Super C does not have a sophisticated transmission and 90 weight transmission oil will work just fine. That is a quick simple answer that works.

Straight 90w gear oil can sometimes be hard to find. But, Tractor Supply has it. They call it Ford Tractor Transmission Fluid.

It has been a long time since I drained the transmission in the only Super C that I have worked on and I don't recall where the drain plug was located. However, I do recall draining out a LOT of oil/water mixture and needing 5 GALLONS of oil to bring it up to the full mark, a plug on the side of the transmission. A quick google search confirmed the five gallons.

The transmission drain plug is located at the very lowest point in the transmission case. Clean the area well and I'm sure you'll find it. It may be covered with grease, grim and dirt.

I'm fairly sure it is a common pipe plug. (The other possibility is a straight threaded plug that seals against a machined surface, like many modern auto drain plugs.)

There are two pipe plugs listed in the SC Parts Catalog for the transmission case. One 3/4” and one 1/4 inch. My educated guess is the 3/4 is the drain plug and the 1/4 is the fill level plug.

No web site. It's a publication from International Harvester. TC-44B.
