MDB Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 I have been looking around in the forums this afternoon for some info on what the proper hydraulic oil is for a Sundstrand hydro. I know that Simplicity recomends their Multy Purpose hydraulic oil. My question, is their a safe alternative? Thanks in advance,
msiebern Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Here's the one I found awhile back. http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=41245&SearchTerms=sunstrand,fluid
UCD Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Mike In simplicity's charts it also lists ATF to be used in them. That is what is in my tractors and what the dealer here uses. Transmission & Gearbox Lubrication Charts [url]http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=22258[/url]
firefoxz1 Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Trans fluid type "F" is what I used. Check the manual for my tractor. [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/kismar/TP_100_3045_02_SV_S33.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/kismar/smiley_018.gif[/IMG]
SimpleMan Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Been running Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in my 98 Sovereign for the last 3 years. So far so good. Gord
MDB Posted January 15, 2006 Author Posted January 15, 2006 Thankyou for all of the replys, think I will try multy purpose hydraulic oil that I use in my farm tractors. From what I have learned it is the same specs. as Simplicity Multy Purpose oil. Thanks again,
CarlH Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 I find it interesting that Simplicity calls out a 25 micron filter while Sunstrand specifies a 20 micron filter.
Chris727 Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 I was reading the large frame repair manual and an AC 700 series owners manual. They also recommend Dextron.
