Hey everyone,
I'm going to run tractor transmission fluid in my TH350 this year. Basically the idea is, its a higher quality version of type F and the transmission will hook up better. Many drag racers use the John Deere HY-GUARD and Low Viscosity version. The Low Viscosity version is the one i'm interested in.
The Low Viscosity HY-GUARD is supposed to loosen up the torque converter 3-400 rpms and lock up better. However the specs show a flash point of only 180c. The standard HY-GUARD shows a flash point of 227c. I'm a little worried it may be an inferior product. The Chevron version "Arctic Drive Train Fluid" shows about the same viscosity but with a 244c flashpoint. Input would be appreciated.
Thanks
