    Posted: 24 Apr 2019 at 2:16pm
Hello,
Looking for a little info about my road grader...
It's an M100, with a S/N: M-100-216, so I think it is earlier than the "B" series. I'm thinking early 60's, but don't really know.

Was wondering if someone can tell me:
1) what year was it manufactured?
2) what hydraulic oil should be used?

The tank is almost completely empty... only a drop at the end of the dipstick, so I plan to replace the filter, drain whatever fluid is left and refill it. But... I want to use the recommended fluid or a superior one, not just a Universal type and hope it's good enough... I found out the hard way with my tractor that "Universal" is not always as Universal as you hope it is.

Thanks!

I found the operator manual for it and took a photo of what it recommends for hydraulic oil, but it seems very vague to me...  Is it just saying regular 10w oil is good enough, or is there something I'm missing?
