Picking up this machine for $7000 , seems a good deal. Unit does operate good it seems when we tested it out. Has a few leaks of course. The interwebs are a bit confusing on types of oil to put in it so im looking to find out what type of transmission oil it takes and diff, planetary oils. Seller said he wasn't sure of year it's been on a farm it's whole life. Any other info like year or other vital info would be helpful , thank you

    According to the engine it's a 1988 but possible the machine is a 1989 model. Cummins 6CT 8.3 is a great engine! Big brother to the 5.9. Have one in my grader.
