I'd have to look at a manual but I think it's something like 200 hours. Approx. 8-10 years

Hy-Tran

$123.00 + tx 5gal as of 3 weeks ago.

Thats less than 25.00 a gallon. Where did you order it from?

Since transmission fluid is not exposed to combustion (like the engine oil) you should be able to change the filter and top it off indefinitely. Wear metal is the only impurity unless you drown it in the lake. Hy Trans is like embalming fluid, it’ll last forever.

No, no no....

The oil still deteriorates and breaks down over time in use with or without combustion, hence the change interval.

$6.15/qt
About the same as a qt of quality motor oil, & look how often that is changed.
Bought it at my local CASE/IH dealer.
Condensation in the unit is the culprit here and the HyTran encapsulates it.
That is the slime you find stuck to the inside of the case when opening one up.
These units do breathe you know, just like you and I.
The filter is part of the casting at the center top rear, appears as a round indent and contains a sintered brass/bronze filter, part #17

The Cub Cadet Lung if you may!!

I like the old school vent in the fill dipstick and put a military horse shoe in it for the vent with a screen !!!!

 

[Mark Evans]

That’s on my 782 18 magnum, the water (condensation) is removed if you use it a lot from normal use going out the vent when at normal work temps !!!!

I agree with that statement. Why all my equipment is brought up to operating temperature once a month. Inoperation will kill a piece of machinery quicker than anything I know of short of low lubricants or fluids

 

[Mark Evans]

You doing that is the GREAT SIGN OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING THAT MOST DONT USE !!!! (COMMON SENSE) !!!!! WELL DONE SIR !!!! Me I do it twice a month for fun !!! Get a lot of looks in the snow and ice !!!!!

i find it crazy how even just ambient humidity will eventually get moisture into the darndest places.

Not a problem in AL I suppose.
Not so easy up here in cold weather country, unless you have temperature-controlled storage.

I can imagine

Proper storage really helps too. I hate it when quality machinery languishes outside where rain water and sunlight deteriorate them.

freeze-thaw cycles when all wet, too.

In the PNW we get some cold or sub-zero spells followed by a warm "Chinook" that can make everything sweat, even under a roof in a barn. Conditioned spaces are what the classic car guys use or if you have room in a heated shop. I often wonder if a crankcase heater of the stap on type used by refrigeration compressors would be helpful; it doesn't take much to stay above dew point and I've seen them not much hotter than 120* where they contact the sump.
