what can you run in these transmissions. Ive read 20W, 10W and others say different shell oils.

    Here's the chart from the manual. At less than $50 maybe you could consider getting one. Oil brand is immaterial IMHO so long as it's good quality (name oil company brand) and not from Joe Blow's Gas & Groceries. SAE10W would work just fine. "SPC" refers to a fully or semi-synthetic oil BTW.

    If you're intetrested in an O&M Manual they are available new from Cat. Or Google SEBU5758, but beware that sellers on eBay and the like often ask more for them than you can buy a new one for ........ Like this one - why pay $74 + S&H when you can get the identical thing from Cat for $57..? https://www.ebay.com/itm/CAT-Caterp...perator-Manual-crawler-owner-OEM/192800259390
