Deere uses Hy-Gard in the same transmissions, correct?

yes, deere uses HY Gard, not the same. that has zinc in the recipe.

I don't mean to get off track, just curious. What is the difference in the hydros - CC versus JD?

I have a couple of more questions. School me please.I'm enjoying this post and learning about the fluids.What is the purpose of Zinc,why does JD believe its needed, where Cub doesn't?What would be a problem using JD-with zinc in Cub that all its life hadn't used it.Thinking about those guys that don't have a dealership close.Thanks

Or if you have a Rural King store nearby I purchased and used their Premium Trans-Hydraulic Oil by Providence.

My guess is Zinc is an added lubricant.
8 years ago I changed with NAPA filter and Tractor Supplys Traveler premium tractor trans/hydro. The label on the jug did cross to hydrant, an it was local to me. It runs in summer and wicked cold winters. I mostly snow plow, it never sees the stresses of tilling.

Zinc is an anti wear additive. Also used in motor oil to prevent wear on flat tappet cams and lifters among other things. Most oils have reduced or taken it out all together with the use of roller lifters being common place now. That is not good for old muscle car engines tho and can take out a cam in short order I'm told. As to why it would be a problem in a hydro I'm not schooled enough to address that. I agree hy Tran is a premium product. Will your hydro immediately explode in a million pieces if you use something else? No I don't think so. If you can get hytran would it be preferable to use it? Yes probably.

so i decided to buy something to scare the crap out of my cousin i bought a train horn and put it on my cub cadet 129 and it is louder then crap

After setting my 129 hydrostatic speed on level ground my tractor will speed up going down a hill. I thought the transmission was supposed to maintain the speed that you set?
