Hey Speedpup, did you have a chance to look on your transmission filter and see if there was a brand and part number on it?
The NAPA links that you gave in the previous post were not working for me. If you could give me the NAPA part number of the item you are pointing out, that would be very helpful.
Thanks for the advice on the friction modifier. I will be ordering some of that stuff, but I wonder if it is sold locally in the same or different brand.
I did some research and concluded that there really is not a significant difference in the 55gallon drum vs. the 5 gallon pails. I will go with the 5 gallon pails to make handling easier. But I still don't know which specific fluid to buy. I'm looking at NAPA part #NHF 85905 vs. NHF 85805.

Probably why I never bought 55 gallon drums $same$ I did price it years ago
and I guess came to the same conclusion as you not worth it.
Don't forget fuel filter. Is it glass on the side of the motor? Forgot if you had JDeere.
