What hydraulic fluid for john deere tractor

Problem or situation:

�            

�        The brake disks chatter on final drive axles while applying the brake pedals to stop the tractor.

�        Brake disk on final drive rattles on pinion shaft while applying the brake pedal.

�        The brake disk fits loose on shaft for ease of assembly.

�        This problem may be the result of what is referred to as stick-slip which is the friction disk adhering to the steel plate and then breaking loose. This results in chatter in the brakes and can be noted as noise and vibration during braking. This problem could relate to an issue with the oil, such as water contamination, or it could relate to the mechanical components in the system.   

Solution:

�        It is important to verify the cause of the noise is not due to high water content in the transmission oil. Oil sample would need to be tested.

�        If brake chatter is encountered, run and Oil Scan to determine if water contamination is present. If water is found, warm up the tractor, drain and replace filters, and refill with Noise Reducing THF. Run and Oil Scan to verify water is removed to an acceptable level. If the water content is okay, test the tractor to determine if the brake chatter persists. If brake chatter continues, drain and refill the tractor, retest, or in severe cases, the brake disks may require replacement. If the brake chatter issue is not resolved at this point, the oil will not resolve the problem; look for a mechanical resolution. 

�        A new fully formulated fluid, �Noise Reducing THF�, has been developed to reduce brake chatter. In certain conditions this product will replace Hy-Gard oil in our tractors to reduce the brake noise. This fluid is suitable for use wherever JDM J20C is shown as acceptable to use.

�            

-     Noise Reducing Tractor Hydraulic Fluid, 1 gallon (3.78 L) � TY27014 - (NLA)

-     Noise Reducing Tractor Hydraulic Fluid, 5 gallons (18.9 L) � TY27015

-     Noise Reducing Tractor Hydraulic Fluid, 55 gallons (208 L) � TY27016 � (NLA)

Note: Dealers can order this fluid on Dealer Daily stock orders or Machine Down orders.

IMPORTANT: Do not add other additives to fluid.

Additional information:

�        Brake disk may need to be changed if the oil is contaminated with moisture.

�        Drain oil from the complete system (brakes, MFWD when engine is running, and oil cooler).

�        Change transmission and hydraulic filters.

�        Fill with 20-25 liters of Hy-Gard oil. Start engine and activate MFWD and brakes.

�        Put a jumper hose in SCV and activate SCV to flush the system (10-15 minutes).

�        Drain oil again as described in the second step.

�        Change transmission and hydraulic filters again.

�        Fill with the correct amount of the new J20C Noise Reducing THF fluid with enhanced brake noise reduction to the system (transmission and hydraulic).

�        Change brake disks.

Note: If the brake chatter issue continues, the oil isn�t the solution, look for a mechanical explanation. 

Drivetrain and hydraulic systems within mixed or separated sumps, including hydraulic pumps/motors, hydraustats, manual-, powershift-, doubleclutch- and IVT transmissions, as well as axles including wet brakes, clutches and final drives. Suitable for forestry and turf care (golf courses, cemeteries), construction, municipalities services, waterway, orchards and farming operations that require biodegradability. Fully compatible with mineral-based Hy-Gard*. Compatible with standard elastomers (seals).

* For it to remain biodegradable, do not mix with mineral Hy-Gard

What type of hydraulic fluid does a John Deere take?

Hy-Gard and low-viscosity Hy-Gard transmission and hydraulic oils are unique oils developed by John Deere engineers to meet the exact needs of John Deere machines. Both Hy-Gard fluids are multi-viscosity fluids with high-viscosity index.

What weight is John Deere hydraulic oil?

Hy-Gard oil can be used in most applications calling for 10W-30 or 5W-30 engine oil for transmission and hydraulic oils.

What is the difference between hydraulic 32 and 46?

32 is thinner, No. 46 is medium and No. 68 is thicker. Generally speaking, if the temperature is low in winter, use #32 & #46 hydraulic oil with a lower viscosity, and use #68 hydraulic oil with a higher viscosity in summer.

Is transmission and hydraulic fluid the same on a tractor?

Both these fluids will differ based on the properties and applications. We can consider hydraulic oil as a medium to transfer power and tractor fluid as a transmission fluid that can lubricate the moving parts within the transmission.
