Fuel Tank
International
standard
Adopt ASTM D-975 fuel. Under general air temperatures, use 2-D
grade fuel; when ambient temperatures are below 32 F, use 1-D grade
fuel.
Engine Sump

standard
Engine sump, injection pump, and governor use viscosity grades
compliant with SAE viscosity classifications. Use all-season SAE
15W/40 multi-grade oil. Quality class should comply with API CD
grade standard.
Water radiator Use a 50/50 blend of antifreeze and water.
Gearbox-rear
axle, hydraulic
lifter, and front
drive axle
International
standard
Drive system and lifter, hydraulic steering, and central and final drives
of front drive axle can use MF1135 (Massey Ferguson), M2C 86A

Steering fluid
International
standard
Same as above.
Oil Fittings/
grease zerks
International

IMPORTANT ISSUES:
Mixing oils of different brands and manufacturers can affect the service performance of the machine. Use
of mixed oils for engine or drive lubrication or the hydraulic system is not recommended.
WARNINGS：
1. To avoid danger, do not refill the fuel tank while operating the diesel engine.
2. If the tractor is working under severe sunlight the fuel tank should not be completely filled, as this will cause
an overflow due to fuel expansion. If fuel overflows, it should be wiped up immediately.
IMPORTANT ISSUES: The cooling system should use a 50/50 water/antifreeze mix in all seasons.
