Exciting new video source for Tractor Collectors is now LIVE! Check out a new webisode on TractorFanatic.com every week! Episode 1 now available!
This is a question that we field several times a day. Customers want to know what type of hydraulic fluid their tractor takes, or what type of oil for the engine. We also get asked about types of fluid for the rear end and the transmission on various models of antique tractors. These questions aren’t very simple to answer correctly. Yes, there are some general guidelines, but we could get it wrong, particularly if you have an obscure tractor or if there is some sort of non-standard equipment on your tractor, or if our technician simply misunderstands the question they are being asked.
Steiner Tractor Parts is not the best place to get this information. The very best place is at the Service Department of your local dealership. Remember, if you have an Allis Chalmers, Avery, Cockshutt, Co-Op, Massey Harris, Massey Ferguson, Minneapolis Moline, Oliver or White your dealer is now AGCO. Also, if you have a Case, International, Farmall or Ford, your dealer is now Case New Holland. You can find your local dealer on their respective websites. John Deere also has a function on their site to find your local dealer.
If your local dealer can’t answer your fluid questions (and they should be able to, even for antique equipment!), then your next best bet is the owner/operator manual. Steiner Tractor Parts does offer many owner’s manuals. If you don’t find the one you are looking for, you can purchase many more through JenSales.
If you have any other suggestions on where to find information on fluids for your tractor, please share it in the comments. We could all use some education and information sharing on this issue.
As some of you may have noticed we are testing some new looks for our home page. We currently have 5 variations of the home page, including the original layout. We are testing the different layouts to see which page appeals to our customers for use and visual appeal. We have added some new flash features ‘New Parts’, ‘Weekly Featured Parts’ & 'What our customers have to say' as well as links to our Facebook & Twitter accounts.
Pictured above are the four new layouts.The initial time you logged on since the test began determined which page you will view. If you log on from a different machine you may see a different layout. We hope you take a minute to look over the new layouts and let us know your thoughts, use the links below each image to go to the actual page.
Feel free to send us your ‘comments’ we look forward to hearing from you.
