Yes, ideally it's in the center of the sight glass. However, after owning one of these since they first made them, the oil level in the transmission is not critical. They would have put a dipstick on it, if it was. There is plenty of oil in there, even if it's below the sight glass, and...

Yes, it's fine.

I believe a lot of us are currently using Rotella T6, 15w-40. Hard to beat. A quality product for a good price.

Sam, sorry you are being frustrated by your tractor. I suggest you start a thread, with your original post. There is a better chance that people will see it then. Your problem is unique. But, we will try and think of some things you can do. The heat could be affecting the battery, which...

But, but, if it meets the spec's, it just as good. 🤔 Tractors, and repairs are costly. I don't think hydraulic transmission oil, is a good place to save money.

I don't know about Canada, but here in the US, it gets dark by as early as 5:00 pm in the winter. And the sun doesn't rise until as late as 7:40 am. 😁

After installing more aftermarket body parts than you can imagine, I have a very low opinion of them. ESPECIALLY lights. So, while yeah, it's a tractor who cares, I still would throw up a little in my mouth, if I had to install one.

MF parts are commonly as much as 3x higher than a similar automotive part. But, in the case of that headlight, it's actually not out of line from what I would expect a similar sized automotive light to cost.

The newer standard is to make hydraulic oils multi-viscosity, rather than the straight 30w it was years ago. This helps with operations in cold weather Twenty years ago, Permatran III was straight 30w.

Thanks guys, I updated my original post to reflect that they fit the 2300 series. I can't speak for the 2400 series. Someone else will need to verify that. I can also confirm that the couplers are installed, and working.

Yes, like health issues. That certainly has kept me from doing all the things I had planned. When you get to a certain point, you're happy if you get up in the morning, and you only feel bad. 🤪

I finally found what I believe are the correct hydraulic couplers for a GC2300 series. I tried them for fit, and they do mate with the existing couplers. The price was a lot better than buying them locally. https://a.co/d/dq94rrb

We get that. The burning question we are all wondering is, why are those chain hooks blue?

What he does should only be based on his intentions, his budget, the environment he is working in, and the humidity there. I did not only suggest a drier. But, one may be necessary.
