Wondering what type oil is a 544 loader tranny supposed to have in it? Have had this loader for 10 years and in winter months have to let warm up at least 20 to 30 minutes before it will move.It had regular hydraulic oil when I bought it and have used same the since. Just replaced the engine and going to replace the tranny oil and got to thinking what oil was the correct type? Thanks for any info Scott
I run TO-4 spec 10W in all my 544G transmissions. Some have over 22k hours on the original transmissions. As for it waiting 'til it warm, to move, ensure that the transmission oil level is correct. Sitting overnight it should be over full. Started and running, after cycling thru all the gears, forward and reverse, it should be at the cold full mark. At 150F tranny oil temp, it should be at the hot full mark. It goes without saying that you need to change the spin on transmission filter. What kinda 544?
A 544 pre 544A early 70's?
