Galion T-500 Grade O Matic

[rick nelson]

I have a Galion T-500 Grade O Matic . I am trying to find out if they used the same transmissions in the Grade O Matic's and what type of transmission is in it. Also need to know what type of fluid I would use? I can drive it in high speed, high range but the slightest hill will slow it down to nothing. Same thing in the high range low speed. Any help on what to look for. I have a Case tractor with the Case O Matic that acts the same way when it's low on fluid
Thanks in advance

Opps I took a look underneath and found it is a Clark Transmission and the two pet cocks leak oil if I open them. So would this mean the oil level is OK?

There might be something here you can use. Scroll down to Galion Graders.

The attached .pdf may have something too.

I am curious if it is common on the older graders to be equipped with the blade side shift , the blade assembly side shift, blade tilt, scarifier and front blade lift. This grader came with the snow wing also.

Thanks
