I have an old Hitachi Ex35 and I need to top up the hydraulic oil. I believe “46” oil is normally used but I have some “32”. Any issues mixing the two?

Super Universal

Oil drained (lets just say there was less then there should have been!) filter removed and cleaned in diesel for an hour. Oil refilled. Circa 9l brought the level up to the top of the dipstick when it was fully screwed in or just to the bottom of "safe" mark when the dipstick was just rested in...

:D What about changing to OAT as I believe this negates the requirement for the additives? If I dopr the coolant and flush the system a couple of times prior to refilling, do you think that would be acceptable? Is there anything internally to the engine that may not be compatible with the newer...

Am I being overly paranoid about this additive? The Op manual is pretty clear that it is a mandatory requirement, presumably as an erosion preventative measure. iT seems to be impossible to source. Has anybody changed to OAT coolant instead?

This is the oil I am intending to use:- Microsoft Word - TDS Agrimax Super Farm 10W-30 (morrislubricants.co.uk)

Anybody know of a source of FW-15 additive or an equivalent?

Thats the plan! :)

4 litres is nearly half of the total 9.7L capcpacity!!! :D

Also, look at this:- the 300hr service instructions state that the transmission dipstick shouldnt be screwed in to measure th oil level, whereas the 1200hr service instructions state that it should!. Perhaps not a big dela but it will make a massive difference to the level on the dipstick...

Christ this is getting complicated. I thought old tractors would be simple. My operating manual turned up today. It states that the shuttle shift box can only use oil to Ford spec. M2C134-D (whereas the none shuttle shift box can use M2C134-D/C, M2C86-B or M2C159-B). Ok then, I thought, lets...

I intend to replace the coolant filter on my 4630 as part of the current service. I have never come across a coolant filter previously and I am led to believe that they are actually contin a slow release coolant treatment. This is the one I intend to purchase:- Ford & Fordson Coolant Filter |...

Thanks. The filter is bolted "inside" the transmission and I have been told they are circa £300 to replace, hence the question on how to clean. I was concerned about the oil spec with it having a shuttle shift and I was unsure whether that had any special requirements.

Can anybody advise on the correct specification for the transmission (not back end) oil in a 1990 Ford 4630 please? Also what is the most effective way of cleaning the transmission oil filter? Thanks

I have. No response :-(

Thanks all. That Operating Manual looks exactly what I am after. I also wish to source a workshop manual. there are a couple on Ebay that are PDF's, so it is difficult to determine whether they are the correct era. I may just have to take a punt. Ive also requested to join the FB group.

Evening all. Ive just purchased a 1990 Ford 4630. I'm keen to obtain an operating an Maintenance Manual. Ive tried "Googling", but I'd be interested in any personal recommendations of where to source one. Thanks
