As many of you know from my other thread about it, I recently bought a Ford 555 backhoe that had transmission problems.
Since I managed to get the shuttle fixed, I can now begin addressing some of the lesser issues.
When I reassembled the machine, I put ATF in the power steering system because that is what was in it when I got it. Looking at older threads, it appears that I should have used UTF. Is that right? Also, I am going to change the oil, but I don't know what weight to use.
I have the service manual, but it is in a storage shed, and don't know if it tells what fluids to use anyhow. Rather than go dig it out, I thought I would be lazy and just ask on here.
