specify what oil for rear lift on ford 4000 tractor

NewBeefFarmer

hi lads. im doing as u say, and i have got the problem fixed (i think) on the 4000, I was told the lift oils needs topping up, as its slow. . and not responsive enough.

can someone tell me what oil goes in this? what spec like? i thought i had some, but i was told that what i had was for my kabuta digger:rolleyes:

is it normal engine oil that goes in here???

to confirm, the oil goes in a small bung hole, on top of the rear end, sightly behind and under the seat?. . I remember i also took off the nut which is beside the lift, its like an over flow?

would be great if someone confirmed. .

thanks lads. .
ye'r great. . . . Hey the rain .. dont get me started:mad:

If the lift is slow, you should change the hydraulic filter as well as when crap builds up on it, the flow of oil gets very slow. 15w30 (universal oil) will do the job

The hydraulic filter is located under your left heel under the floor.
