Call cenpeco. They have oil for CAT steering clutches that is hydraulic oil without lub improvers. We run hyd oil and mineral spirits. I heard atf too. Where did you get your TA? Is it stock? 5 6 7 disc? If you bought a pulling TA ask the place you got it from.

We run distilled water with a touch of baby oil. Don't cheap out on the distilled water though, and make sure to get Johnson & Johnson baby oil

About 80% diesel fuel and the rest 40 wt engine oil.

I've been told hy-tran is too slippery, its been recommended to use the mineral spirits with hydraulic oil or the caterpillar hydraulic oil. I believe the cat oil is called T04 and the # is 8T-9568. I'd have to check the container but I think that's right. This oil has worked great in both a five and eight disk ta.

What about Cat's 30w or 50w TO4. Would the 30w be better than the 10w or Would the 50 be too thick? I read they made this oil for powershift transmissions. So wouldn't the heavier oil be better for the loads this will see.

I belive thinner oil is better. Harder on you pump, but the idea is to have your discs bite not slip. You can shim your pump to blow all your gaskets out with the thinest oil so pressure is not the problem. We have never made it a whole year without changing our ta discs. The mineral spirits makes the ta hold, but kills the discs. Sounds wierd I know.

hytran is the only way to go. if you have a good high quality torque, shim the torque properly, set the pressure, make sure the spool travels all the way in both directions, and set the dump valve correctly, you should not have a problem. haven't had a bit of trouble with my torque, still shifts like it did the day we put it in 3 years ago. but everyone has there own opinion and this one is mine.

do not even use the dump valve !,,its a ta killer,,throw the linkage in the trash.not need for tractor pulling.if you get on a gear bind,just shift to low, easy and never worry about the adjustment,,hytran is the only way to go, 400 psi and it will hold for a lot of yrs

Also for the guys running 8 disc allied ta's, what kinda HP are you putting through them and how are they holding up?

We were running the 8 disk this past season and that part heldup fine, we broke the high side constant mesh which in turn tore out the low side. I believe Jeff said it wrecked the carrier. Fixed the cm gear and finished the season using high. Last time on dyno was making 1050 hp and 2350 tq running 3 or 4 teeth over road at 10500.

That should be the number that I responded with, can't check at the moment though. Running a 640 profarm with a 3x? charger.
