Subject: Is JD Hy-Gaurd and Case-IH hytran plus, the same oil?


SW MN
I have a Case-IH 955 planter and it calls for hytran plus ms1207.
I run JD Hy-Gaurd in Jd tractors.
Do I have to carry both now?

Thanks

As long as oil meets the sames specs , ie xx-xx code number, no difference.

Now that is stretching it just a tad, and I have used both. The only thing I do, and it may not be a real issue, but I try not to mix different oil brands in hydrostatic set-ups. If I have a SPX4260 with Hy-tran in it, that is what I run in it. John Deere 9860 Combine with Hy-Guard, that's what we run in it. Now, the first oil change/flush, and it'll end up with what I run the most of, and that is actually neither of the above, so go figure.

Depends on who is doing the testing!

For starters, they have different viscosity profiles. That's a fact. The rest you can argue about. I'm outta here right now, as the last thing I am going to get any deeper into is an oil argument. They are even more pointless than tractor brand arguments.

Agree completely. I run all deere except an IH 510 wheel loader and there is a definite difference that I can see in the two oils. IH is more viscous and there is a noticeable difference in smell which tells me there is something different about the two(I now it isn't very scientific but I trust my nose!). Just use what is recommended and you will have way less headaches.

Hy-Gaurd is a multi viscosity oil, and Hy-Tran is single viscosity.

Check this link, the JD fluid meets Case IH specs clear up through MS 1210, so why would it not work ?

Never said it wouldn't work. Both are top of the line

Rick, Your neighbor is taking a huge risk using Hy-Tran in a John Deere tractor.

The water retention property of Hy-Tran (and some other fluids) can cause the paper friction material in the Perma Clutch and power shift clutches to de-laminate.

Hy-Gard is also a heavier fluid than Hy-Tran. Hy-Gard is designed to completely reject water whereas Hy-Tran is designed to absorb a significant amount of moisture.

Other properties that Hy-Tran does have is a seal and o-ring swelling agent that many universal fluids lack.
Anti-foaming and the ability to rid itself of air are properties that make Hy-Tran superior to many universal fluids. (High performance power steering fluids are nothing more than re-packaged Hy-Tran)

One example where I demonstrated to a customer the value of the swelling agent....I was doing a T.A. job for an owner who refused to use anything but the least expensive oils he could find.

When I got to the part where the T.A. jumper tubes were to be removed I flipped them out with my fingers.

I then tossed the tubes with the o-rings still on them into a pan of Hy-Tran I used for soaking PTO clutch plates.

After 10-15 minutes I took the tubes out of the Hy-Tran and the o-rings had swelled enough that they had to be forced into the same holes that they had just slid out of.

The owner was there while I performed this demonstration. He finally changed his mind about our fluids.

Is it really a good thing for an oil to cause o rings to swell up?  If I saw that I would take it as an indication that i had the wrong o ring and it was not compatible with the fluid in question.

It was for me, but then the old 1086 was leaky....nice to have the mess gone.    Compatibility, doubt that would be an issue in something that was supposed to use Hy Tran to begin with.   When we started using HyTran in the old Hesston windrower the leaks slowed up quite a bit, easier than rebuilding stuff.   Although at the time I had no idea the oil had anything to do with it.

Subject: 955 planter



WNW Illinois, Henry Co
depending on which planter, all the planter uses for oil (except the lift cylinders, is in a captive setting recirculating in it own system. so hytran will be the correct answer, the first time you lift the planter, all oil in wheel lift cylinders just got mixed together, so be it JD. the oil in the planter system will need changed every 250 hours or so, so not hard tokeep it seperate. good luck
