Oil type

[Matyoung77]

Hi all
New to the group, I've just purchased an a 79' international 475, I've dipped the stick which is by your left foot and it's showing no oil in the back end, what would you recommend I use for the age tractor. Also does the back end oil run the power steering as I notice a slight weep from the ram
Cheers

I've got a 475 and use John Deere Hygard in the back end and Plus11 in the engine. But you can use any UTTO oil in the back end, IH tell you to use Hytran.

Check rear end oil with engine running at idle

I found hytran rots hydraulic hose. Run it in a sprayer and forever changing hoses.

Morris liquamatic HY is the preferred.

Your tractor hasn’t got a torque amplifier so a good multipurpose oil will be fine
Especially in an older model like yours

Go google case sprayer oil change That way you’ll avoid making I’ll informed comments.

Must have been one of the last (79) Perkins engine as well. Can’t see a photo of it though ?

 

[agrimax]

The 475 ran from 1974-'77... Maybe this one wasn't registered til '79 though...

Great tractors. I had one. Wish I'd still got it. For 62 hp it pulled like a train. The Perkins engine was far better than the IH engine. Not many about now.

Morris oils, search on Whatoil. All one word, Morris’s web site it’s very good

But dont buy off the website . 2 prices .

Keep it simple and use a 10w/30 super universal for both engine and transmission. Since the oil level is very low, take the opportunity to change the oil and filters all through the tractor.

Yes, buy off a dealer. Oil prices on many websites are overinflated and dealers will substantially discount.

I agree it’s not Morris’s web site it a private seller

Dont forget when comparing prices Morris drums have 25 Larson on them !

Thanks all for your comments, all very helpful, just to clarify the same oil is used for the power steering?
