Hello all, new member here looking to see if anyone knows what kind of transmission fluid this Alice Chalmers FT 20–24 PS transmission takes. Thank you!

Ok, Thank you so much! Is the reservoir on the side of the machine that has the vent cap that has a screw on the middle of it where you put the transmission fluid or does it go in the dipstick hole? I guess what I’m asking is the transmission fluid used for
the hydraulic side of things too?

Many folks use AW32 or ISO 32 hydraulic oil.

I downloaded a manual for mine. It says Type A. I do not know how it relates to modern oils

basically any good 10 wt (approx) oil... Years ago requiring DExtron or Type A or F was a way to guarantee a GOOD QUALITY THIN WEIGHT OIL.... without having engine oil addatives.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

So is Type A a Dexron? I’m only familiar with Type F for all those older cars and trucks as I only drove Mercury and Ford then.
