 Topic: Hy-tran use in wd45?
Posted: 02 Mar 2012 at 7:16pm |
Ive mentioned this before and had one person say they used hy-tran in the hydraulic pump and tansmission/rear end. Anyone else done this? My concern is the hytran being to thin for the rear end gears? Owners manual recomends 80w 90 but I purchased a 5 gal. pail of hy-tran pretty cheap today.
As always, advice very much appreciated!

You'll find all your leaks faster. I would think other than leaks you'd be fine. It a modern oil made for gear trains and hyd.

The hytran has extreme pressure additives which makes it fine for tranny and differential. If they would have had it in the 50's it might have been recommended instead of the gear lube.

I've had it in the rear of my 45 since 1982 and never had to add fluid to it.I do loose about a 1/2 quart out of the hydraulics every year with normal use of the loader, plow and back blade.

If you look in the AC lube charts they want you to use Hy-Tran/Equiv in a WD45, Only place they show 140 is in the final drive/bull gear pans.

Thanks for help fellas.  Looks like im going with hy-tran.
I gotta post up some pics of the ol girl. This tractor is ADDICTIVE, and I cant seem to keep my hands off of it. Im in the process of changing out the last possible fluid and rewiring the headlights, installing back up light and putting in a keyswitch because someone hodgepodged a on/off switch in er. I have her primered and nearly ready for some new paint, then decals.
I gotta say though I love how its put together. I found magnets on one of my drain plugs while changing out the gear fluid. Who does that anymore? I love how overengineared every nut and bolt is. You just dont see this on new equipment these days.  |

The guts of a 45 are no different than 190 through 220,just smaller.The big dogs in their day used hy-tran so how's it gonna hurt a 45? Charlie Tucker said it best.

I have had people tell me that the older tractors like my CA will have seals that fail due to not being compatible with modern hy-trans oil. Any one heard that before. I really would like to change from the 20W motor oil that I use now. Dale

The lube properties of the new oils is far superior to the old products that were 40's 50's 60's norms. from the old black wheel bearing string grease made for plain bearing wagon hubs to the high temp grease used in modern automotive use. 10/30 motor oil seems to be the choice of many in the engines and the 20W hyd fluid has been replaced with the hy-tran fluids, The heavy trany oils also have become low viscosity oils for better lube and GL-5 lubes have replaced the heavy tacky semi-grease like oils.
