| Gotta put fresh oil in my trans and torque housing. It's an early 190xt. #7229. What should I be running? Can imagine what it's going to cost. Diesel went to 4.69 a gallon today. Gonna be expensive spring planting. Oh well, tell me what Yas think. Thanks, John |

| You need a hydraulic/transmission fluid that says it meets Allis Chalmers (or AGCO) Power Fluid 821 specs. It should say so on the side of the pail. |

| How about Chevron the 1000. I can get a small 30 gallon drum of that. Looks like Agco says it meets 821xt specs. Whatever that means. |

| If it meets AGCO 821 or 821XL or Permatran specs, it's good to go. 5 gallons in torque tube...….8 to 10 gallons in trans differential. Final drives are 2 gallons each and normally are 80/90 wt gear oil, but really don't know why all the compartments couldn't use the same 821 oil. |

| Thank you, I was hoping you would respond. It says it meets 821xL specs so I'll go with it. Kinda nice because that's what's used in our other 4 tractors. Thanks for responses, John |

any "QUALITY" oil will meet 20 different manufacturer specs... Most of them are very similar if not identical.... Allison C3, CAT TO2 , CASE HYTRANS.... and dozens of others.. They will ALL be listed on the back of the drum.
for example.......  ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

If the jug or barrel is " generic hydraulic / trans fluid".... and has NO SPEC on the label, then it is not QUALITY oil..

| I don't know, but when they've had 821 since 1967/68, I'm sure there has been more than one supplier over all those fifty plus years. Current oil is Perma-Tran thru AGCO. |
