Low vis trans hydraulic oil is what I run |

If you have a local Justice Brothers dealer in your area you should look at getting a few bottles of "Heavy Duty Lubrication" additive.
This product treats the metal to help bearing and gears all run top notch . This product you can even run in trans and engine. We handle this at our shop and would be happy to help you out if there is no dealers in your area. Bar - M Performance www.bar-m-performance.com |

I ran a couple quarts of Lucus as well. Heard of guys running ATF. |

Look at TD sheets for different brands and pick the best oil you like and local availability.
Schaeffer's 75w140 is good stuff but spendy. Will run cooler and in result last longer. They have different weights too if you have a preference for this application and don't need a full synthetic high performance EP lube. And if you need to add someones additives to your oil or lube, you need to buy better lubrication. The good companies already have it in their formulation for what is needed for extended wear and extreme pressure applications.

I have TriboDyn Performance Lubricants Full Synthetic Gear Oil available. (50wt, 75w-90, 75w-140). TriboDyn is patented technology that will provide maximum friction reduction and provide extreme protection. This oil utilizes the same technology found in high performance coatings. TriboDyn is liquid coating technology built into high performance oil. TriboDyn Lubricants will outlast all other oil by 2-3 times the oil life. I had pullers testing product during the 2016 season and had very successful seasons using TriboDyn Engine oils.
TriboDyn Gear Oil will improve the efficiency of your driveline and provide patented protection that no other oil can match. Call or message for details www.high-rev.com jmobley@high-rev.com |

What ever you run in your newest farm equipment.
If snake oil was better it would be in the barrel already. |

All farm equipment has oil or lube spec the fluids need to meet, set by mfg.
Fluids can just meet these specs and not offer any more than that. Hopefully one would find better lubrication for high performance applications than just what Deere or CIH put for a spec on their equipment. Remember CIH and Deere and others want their equipment to wear out eventually. They are in the business of selling parts and equipment. Usually their fluids supplier is the one with the cheapest bid and meet the minimum spec. I wouldn't use this in extreme performance applications like pulling or racing. Even higher priced oil is cheaper than replacing pulling parts. And in pulling motors and racing motors we are not worried about emissions systems and what different additives can do to foul those systems up. Zinc (and some other additives) in oil is very good for lubrication in race applications, but do not run a high zinc racing oil in your new Chevy 2500 HD. These additives missing from your over the road spec oil are very beneficial on the track.

Mix Marvel Mystery oil in what you are already running now. Try 3parts gear oil and 1part Marvel to start with. Been doing this for years with no problems. |

How many gear failures have you ever saw that was do to type of oil used? MACK |

Have not had gear failure, looking for a light wt oil to run, to get to the shafts where the gears spin on, bull pinions and Case range gears. Going to do some winter pulling and looking for a thinner oil to get to the shafts. 90wt has worked in the summer, not so sure when its colder out. |

Try a 75w90 or 75w140 and be covered in colder times and during summer. No need to switch it out. COO for OTTPA www.outlawpulling.com www.truck-specialties.com Schaeffer Oil Representative [www.schaefferoil.com] |

So the 80w90 will be fine That I run? |

75w90 and 75w140 will flow better at colder temps if you want a lube that will work better in that condition.
These will do all you need for any temp as well so you could just leave it in year round. COO for OTTPA www.outlawpulling.com www.truck-specialties.com Schaeffer Oil Representative [www.schaefferoil.com] |

Anyone use Lucas Oil? |

stick some used engine oil in it oil falure will not be the cause of the broke pinion shaft or a tooth ot high gear if 10 seconds down the track 30 times a year for 20 years wears the gears out some one didn't harden them |

I'm not worried about the teeth, It's the oil getting in between the shafts and gears that spin on the shafts. |

Also, there is some sliding that goes on between the faces of the teeth as they go into and out of mesh, if you are seeing pitting of the gear teeth, that is an oil problem. |

Another option is to dry-film coat your gear faces. The teeth are coated with a ceramic dry-film lubricant that will help improve oil retention while reducing friction. This will give your gears long life and reduce the driveline friction. If you want the same results with out having to disassemble the transmission/ rear end then go with TriboDyn and you have effectively just coated everthing in the transmission including the bearings. Your drivetrain will benifit from the friction reduction and protection offered by TriboDyn. A lot of pullers have seen the benifits of using dry-film lubricants applied to their parts, by High-Rev. Using TriboDyn Oil brings the benifit of coatings to every part the oil comes in contact with. It will free up your drivetrain!

What's it do to wet brakes? |
|
Re: Lucas Oil?

I would not recommend using TriboDyn with a wet brake setup. It can not be used in any wet clutch or in your case wet brake system. The ability of TriboDyn to reduce friction may cause a wet clutch or wet brake to slip. TriboDyn seeks to lower friction and the 3-Stage Technology is really efficient at doing that. Using it in you engine or gear drives will reduce friction, making them easier to turn. Reducing friction in your engine can increase rpm, while also extending engine part life. When you talk about friction reduction in the drivetrain your are attempting to lower drivetrain power loss. TriboDyn does this by providing a high load capable slick surface the is attracted to your metal parts. The material will continue to cling and protect even during loss of oil or loss of oil pressure. (Protection during catastrophic failure!) Protects at temps beyond 2700 degrees and TriboDyn has lubricating material in it that is load rated at 350000 PSI.
Your engine will also benifit from reduced oil temps and improved ring sealing. Great question Thanks, Joshua Mobley High-Rev Technology |

Pretty much what I was expecting. But thought I would ask any way. Thanks |
