M100 Road Grader - What hydraulic oil to use?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello,

Looking for a little info about my road grader...

It's an M100, with a S/N: M-100-216, so I think it is earlier than the 
"B" series.  I'm thinking early 60's, but don't really know.

Was wondering if someone can tell me:

1) what year was it manufactured?

2) what hydraulic oil should be used?

The tank is almost completely empty... only a drop at the end of the 
dipstick, so I plan to replace the filter, drain whatever fluid is left 
and refill it.   But... I want to use the recommended fluid or a 
superior one, not just a Universal type and hope it's good enough... I 
found out the hard way with my tractor that "Universal" is not always as
 Universal as you hope it is. 

Thanks!
