Please refer Oil Specifications Chart for oil specifications at different range of ambient temperatures.

Following oils are recommended.

1.GULF Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid

2.Exxon Torque fluid 56

3.Shell Donax TD

4.Mobil fluid 424

5.Tractelf BF 12

Chassis Lubricant (CL)

Use good grade of grease designed for pin and bushings on agricultural equipment. Lithium or aluminum complex type grease with high viscosity base oil, tackiness and molybdenum disulphide are suitable. Grease approved for the NLGI certification mark GC-LB are recommended.

Grease must be SAE Multipurpose High Temperature Grease with Extreme Pressure (EP) performance and capable of operating at assembly temperatures above 150°C (302°F) Depending upon the expected ambient temperature range during the service interval, use grease as shown on the Oil Specifications Chart.

Front Axle

Use gear oil complying to API GL5, MIL-L-2105D specifications. Please refer Oil Specifications Chart for oil viscosity grade at different range of ambient temperatures. Following oils are recommended,
