1947 D2 Dozer hudralic oil? was created by Dirtbike125
Hey,
I got a 1947 D2 dozer with a blade on the front. The hydraulic tank for it is mounted in front of the radiator. I think the oil is low but I can’t tell since I don’t see a dip stick. I was wondering if anyone knew how I know when it has enough oil in it. Also what type of oil I’d use in it. I’ve been told 30w engine oil is fine but I want to make sure.
thank you!

i think the spec is 10 weight motor oil?? nothing wrong with 30 weight either. i run a tractor fluid that matches my other tractors so i can share hydraulic cylinders and the oil is 10w30 based.

So I could run a 10w30 instead of straight 30? I’m just having a hard time finding tech specs of the specified oil. It seems the hydraulic tank and blade must be an attachment since it is not in the manual. Just the tractor specs. Also I wasn’t sure if there was a possibility of overfilling the tank since there is no dipstick or sight glass. Just glad I get some pointers by you guys. Thank you!

I use ISO 46 hydraulic fluid in all my machines---I think its about SAE 15 weight oil---a lot depends on what the temp environment you will be running it in--I like hydraulic oil because it has anti foam additives along with some water absorbing additives

If I overfill my tank the fluid will spray out the vent hole in the cap when it gets hot and makes a mess. It is also pretty hot so be carefull.

yes you can. i prefer to use a hydraulic spec oil for the anti wear and oxy properties.

When I ran a shop for a county, I had every make machine known to man. I used tractor hydraulic fluid in everything. I even used it in Allison transmissions. Works with all clutches and frictions. Works great with antique hydraulic pumps to modern variable volume piston pumps.. I buy it at Walmart or Tractor Supply now that I am retired.
