front diff fluid??

casingbill · Aug 8, 2005

manual says to use NH 134 lubricant. Is there a comparable replacement? regular 90w?

did a search but couldn't come up with anything

I would think any tractor hydraulic fluid that met the NH requirements, but I know that it definitely isn't a 90w oil that goes in there.

Both TSC and wallmart carry a "UTF" type oil that meets NH 134d spec. Napa does as wel.. in fact.. most petroleum dealers make a UTF.. just read the specs.

I run the TSC UTF in my ford NH products.. no issues yet..

excellent....thx much

the stuff that came out of the wheel hub looked pretty thick so thats why I assumed it was 90w

Probably was just dirty and contaminated..

well the lower part of the hub was very thick and dark....the upper half was full of really nasty, rusty, watery, oil......not sure how water gets into it though...but anyway, i'm draining the whole front and replacing it

thx again

If you drive into water when the axle is hot, water will get sucked in past the seals. This happens with 4X4 trucks all the time also. We always waited for our trucks to cool down before crossing our river. You should always check the fluid after driving in water.
