Oil & Fuel 3840 Rear final drive oil

[RoadKingRanch]

In my original owners manual (thrown out by cleaning lady)I think it stated 80W gear oil in left and right rear final drives in new owners manual there is a sticker over the 80W stating trans/hyd. fluid is to be used. What is the factory fill 80W or trans/hyd.fluid? Was there a reason for the change or just a misprint in the manual? Thanks

For starters I do not own a Montana.

You will find many tractor manufacturers that spec a gear oil or a UTF. By Montana saying trans/hyd fluid I would have to imagine they mean a UTF oil.

What is in them now a thick or thin oil? If it's thick it's probably gear oil, if it's thinner then it's probably a UTF oil.

Use trans/hyd fluid.
