I have two International 986 tractors that need the hydraulic fluid changed. Manual (from 1976) calls 22.5 gallons each of IH Hytran, but at $90 a bucket I'm wondering if anything else out there would work as well. I have read so much stuff on it that I am dizzy. As I understand it the fluid is supposed to be spec MS1209. Is anyone on here familiar with that, and does anyone have a recommendation on where to buy? H&R in Columbus (CaseIH dealer) quoted $990 for a drum).
I love my country, but don't trust my government.

I would buy that 90 dollar fluid. The cheap fluid is not good. There are no government standard or regs on hydraulic fluid like motor oil. Talk to a tractor dealer and get what they recommend. I blew alot of hoses with cheap fluid. That cheap fluid is mostly water. It is hard to see expensive fluid leaking out of a machine but a busted hose or broken hydro pump is worse. How could they have water in them? It would separate. I can understand it having a cheap grade of oil but I doubt they have water in them....

Never run cheap fluids or my cheap parts.

Maybe one of the loggers will chime in, they prob run more fluid than us farmers. But 303 has worked in everything I ever had.

Rural King sells some with a red label for IH. Other than that you can use any that is for transmissions with the 303 rating like DW said. Next option is the high $ stuff from dealer.
Don't put the cheapo 20 weight in that is not rated for transmissions.

The Traveller Premium from Tractor Supply is what I run in all my machines.
Look no further. Not complicated.

just get your some 303 and roll on. You’ll be fine... My problem was that I had to add 5 gallons this weekend and after doing so I saw on the jug that it was "not recommended for transmission, differentials, wet brakes or final drive gears". What was in it was really dark and I figured I'd change it... until I got the price.I just cant believe that there isnt a brand without the required specs for less than what the Case dealership quoted.

Several states have outlawed the 303 tractor fluid because it isn’t what it says it is. I know it’s a very popular fluid but it’s junk. We sell a Chevron tractor fluid that meets JD20C specs. It’s less than $50 per 5 gallon bucket.
