Traveller gear oil

Post by JayinPA » Sat Feb 28, 2015 7:58 pm

Is the Traveller gear oil from tractor supply good to use ? I need to change the trans oil in my 440ic.

I ask the same question a few months ago on this forum. The consensus was that if it meets the specs go ahead and use it. It seems most brands are made in the same refinery, the difference is the packaging and of course the price. Also the requirements for these machines was written maybe 50 or 60 years ago, lubricants have come a long way since then

Thanks Terry, I thought it would be okay to use.

Pretty sure that's what I put in mine.
I figured the bearings aren't from Deere and the gears haven't plenty of miles on them already so the few hours a year I'll put on it won't hurt anything.
