Farmall H tranny lube

Kevin Dangle · Jul 24, 2008

My IH dealer's literature from IH recommends the thin Hy-tran rather than 80W-90 or 85W-140 I was going to use. I know the literature is official IH from the 90's, but what are some of your opinions?

Has anyone else used Hy-tran in an old H? Mine is a 1940 model and is a bit noisy.

Thank you!

Any of those will work just fine. One problem with hy tran in those older machines is seepage from the old gaskets. I used to use hy tran in an old M that I mainly used as a chore tractor in the winter. Worked good for me. Most people will use one of the heavier type of lubes. my .02 of a buck.

Hy-tran will make it noisier yet!
Unless you plan to use it on a -40 snowy winter day, the heavier lube will be just fine. Even then you just need to let the clutch out SLOWLY to get things moving. BTDT many times.

85w140 would be a world better than Hytran.
