Re: trans fluid
Any MS1207 or MS1209 compatible hydraulic fluid should be fine. Check the labels.

Re: trans fluid
90 weight is also okay to use in a Cub trans.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: trans fluid
Also, read the back of the container carefully. I’m thinking it was Cam2, that I was looking at, at Rural King. Reading the small print, the salesman pointed out that it had a maximum operating temperature of 120 deg., although it claimed Hy Tran comparable. It looked like a great deal, until that came to light.

That's what I get for reading "new posts" instead of individual forums. I tend to not focus on where something is posted.

Re: trans fluid
I just changed out the rural king fluid for mobil 424. Now the hydraulics are so slow. The plow went up fast and slammed down quick even in sub zero temps with the rural king hytran equivalent. Now with the mobil the pump whines when going up and it takes forever to drop the plow

Re: trans fluid
The Mobil fluid 424 is between an ISO 46 and an ISO 68 viscosity grade. Doesn't the most common hydraulic fluids in use have an ISO of 32?almikyska13 wrote:I just changed out the rural king fluid for mobil 424. Now the hydraulics are so slow.

I have no idea. I up and down the internet for a fluid i could find locally that was as close to hytran as possible. Mobil 424 got recommended many times as a quality substitute. But that makes sense as you said. Its probably way thicker than whatever I was using before. Sucks cause it wasn't cheap fluid and now the plow is almost unusable. Any safe way to thin it out?
Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread, just wanted to let the OP know what happened to me when changing fluids

Re: trans fluid
Before changing hydraulic oil - - start tractor and let idle for 5 or more minutes. Then operate the hydraulics a couple of times. Idea is to get the hydraulic oil circulating and the oil and engine warming up a bit.
Some log splitters have that statement attached to the side of the unit.
I've been using a local farm and ranch store branded ISO 32 hydraulic oil that meets the IH specs. Use the oil in my skid steers, several different makes of tractors, and the log splitter.
