Hi all

Can anyone please tell me what type and amount of oil would best suit a mf 178.?

Do you use the same oil right through and is the gearbox and diff oil filled from one spot?

Sorry I,m new at this game but eagerly awaiting your answers

Thanks in advace..... ..mf

Thanks Kenneth

Found the fill hole and dipstick. I'll grab the oil this afternoon and we're all set.

Kindest Regards ..... mf

We had some MF 178's in the caribbean, and used 90 oil in the gearbox and transmission. These two compartments flow into each other unlike the Fordson, so there is only one fill which is around the gearstick and there is a dip stick on the left side or could be the right of the tractor on the side of the Diff casing kind of on the side a bit forward of the seat.

Hope this helps.

Kenneth
