TDH is my preferred lube for PS

It is a universal tractor hyd fluid. Capable of being used in rear ends gear boxes and hydraulic systems.

It is what I am currently using....filtered and cooled.

JM7.3CW Eh!

Mike, I'd use a high quality synthetic fluid like Amsoil.

Here's 2 of them:

Amsoil's Signature Series Multi-Vehicle Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (Product Code: ATFQT) http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produ...c-automatic-transmission-fluid/?code=ATFQT-EA
or
Amsoil's Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil SAE 5W-30 (Product Code: ATHQT) http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produ...lic-transmission-oil-sae-5w-30/?code=ATHQT-EA

Personally I'd use ATF

We are not dealing with High friction loads and shear like clutches in an auto trans. Hence TDH is actually a very good fuild to use. I would consider what the fluid is used for and how it is designed prior to installation.

Auto fluid is a hyd fluid with additive for friction of clutches etc.

As TDH is a commercial fluid it sees wet clutches so it is good in said frictional load too.

It takes a hihher heat load than most atf as well.

Just based on exp.

Somewhere I saw it was Mercon V so that is what I used.

I use Allison Transynd. Designed for HD automatics at a long change interval. Not cheap but I have connections.
