How To Change The Hydraulic/Transmission Fluid In Ford 8N (Milkshake) Big Problems!!

So I’ve had this Tractor for about 2 to 3 years now I don’t hardly run it or drive it but one day I wanted to use it and the lift wouldn’t pick up so the ol man asked if I checked/Changed the hydraulic fluid in it I said no so we check it and it was completely milkshake so I got all the stuff for changing the fluids and changed it and bam she was picking up like new so I’ve done lot of research what to put in it and how to change it so hope this video help and you share it alone thanks everyone and God Bless

Here is a little trick for you. When you were pouring the oil, you had the spout at the 6 oclock position. Next time when the bucket is full, put the spout at the 12 oclock position and this allows the bucket to get air and it doesnt go gluck gluck gluck. It just flows real steady. Of course when the bucket gets low you will have to turn it around the way you had it in this video.

You need to drain all three compartments on the 8n to get the water out it actually has three devivded compartments inside likely to prevent a hydraulic leak from draining the transmission and rear differential of their oil I have to change mine soon also as my rear lift is not working under heavy load ether. So next time make sure you drain all three if you want to replace it all. 😉 still it was fun to watch hope all goes well recomend changing it in the fall as this will protect the pump from water freezing on busting it in the winter according g to what I've read.

Have you ever had a starter break apart?

Do You have lifting problems by this Milkshake? I don't know much about this model of tractor but its not different construction of our polish tractor "c"-model serries especially my favourite Ursus c330/c335 so I think that maybe the change oil will be good for mine olso. Its good that such young people like You cary of that old tractors! ;) Greatings from Poland :) Good job!

[@embracetheoutdoors7232]

It was keeping it from holding when the motor was off it definitely helps a lot I recommend a flush on them once a year for sure to get a good oil in them every year of work

Need to drain all 3 theres fluid in rear that wont drain out of front drain

[@michaelhawkins2882]

Seems I have to change mine about once a year. Lots of condensation gets in and contaminates the oil. Do the brakes work on yours? Common issue for axle seals to go then take out your brakes. Tore mine apart and replaced axle seals, brakes and wheel bearings last winter.

[@embracetheoutdoors7232]

Yeah it looks like milk and I just changed it and yes my brakes work pretty darn good still one side of the axle is leaking but don’t affect the brakes

[@tomanderson3132]

I'd pull the other two plugs also.

I think the motor went on it

I will try the 80 90 gear oil ,that sound better than tran. fluid

Quits them down a lot less grinding to

[@benkanobe7500]

Does the drain you used and fill you used also drain and fill the differential? Or is that another drain and fill access?

[@embracetheoutdoors7232]

On the 8N tractors there is 3 drain plugs the best method is to drain all 3 but what I read after a year turns to milk shake again so I just drained what I could and filled it up yess it drains transmission and diff

[@donaldlawrence2222]

I reckon the hydraulics and the gear box uses the same oil?

[@embracetheoutdoors7232]

Yes actually it’s hydro and gear for the rear end and the transmission all use the same fluid that’s why it’s important to change it every year.

[@paulknoblock8797]

2 more drain holes were missed leaving more milkshake behind!

[@Mr.greenthumb]

Looks like trains fluid fill

[@katherinwalter1826]

That is the problem I was having...now I can fix it! Can I use hydraulic fluid instead??

[@embracetheoutdoors7232]

Use what ever is thicker the better my tractor end up locking up so I’ll have a video trying to figure that out one say
