I've using a neighbors 8N whose husband had a stroke to do some work for her. The dip stick on the right side case under the seat is almost dry. There is a filler cap on the top of the tranny by the gear shift. Does transmission, rearend & hyd. pump all run in the same oil and if so what kind? What is in it now has a reddish-brown color a little darker than ATF fluid. Thanks for any help.

Sounds like it has a good bit of rust in it. Also sounds like it needs to be drained and changed. Theres 3 drain plugs and only one fill plug. Takes GL-1 type fluid which is a 90W oil but is also special and the N series need the GL-1 or it can mess up the seals etc.

Your assumptions are correct: filler cap on the top of the tranny by the gear shift does supply transmission, rearend & hyd. pump.

My quick answer is 80-90 gear lube. If the oil shows on the dip stick, at all and the lift works, you can probably use it without hurting anything. There is a six inch round plate under the seat on the right side of transmission case. If you take the bottom bolt out of the plate and only fill until lube runs out you will not overfill. If you do overfill the grease may run out the ends of the axel and contaminate the break shoes. You will find a lot of info in the 8N archives on this subject. There are a lot of YT people that know more about this than I but what I have said here, should not get you in trouble.
