Questions a friend asked me about his 'new' Ford industrial 540A...I'm a John Deere guy so I refer to the hive mind at the Ford forum
First question is transmission fluid...I told him "probably Ford 134 spec hydraulic/transmission oil"...but I'll ask 'cause I'm not certain...What oil for a 540A transmission?
Do these industrial tractors have a two reservoir transmission/rear axel?....as in It has a dip-stick in front of the gear shift levers and a fill plug. Also looks like a level check plug a bit further back on the trans-case(right side)...has fill plugs on top differential housing too.
What oil and approximate capacity for the loader frame reservoir?
Oh..and thanks for the CAV pump bleeding info in my previous topic. It didn't take too much effort to get it fired-up...I still had to pressure-up the fuel tank to get it too catch.
