My question is, what hydraulic oil grade should I use for this tractor? I've heard conflicting information, some say use ATF and others say use ISO46 hydraulic oil. What do you recommend?
Thanks,
Matthew
Dear Matthew,
Thank you for reaching out to Vintage Tractor Engineer with your question about the hydraulic oil grade for your MF65 restoration project.
After conducting some research and consulting with our restoration experts, we recommend using ISO46 hydraulic oil for your MF65. This is the grade of oil that Massey Ferguson recommends for this model and is readily available through most agricultural machinery suppliers.
It's important to use the correct hydraulic oil grade to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your tractor's hydraulics system. Using the wrong oil grade can lead to poor performance, leaks and even damage to the internal components of the system.
We hope this information helps with your restoration project and please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns.
Best regards,
Vintage Tractor Engineer
