D8 14a TO fluid alternative was created by Zgrant231

Just bought my first D8 #9A1872.

I was looking to fully service the unit before I try it out, possibly purchasing oils in bulk 45gal drums. I have some equipment that calls for 15-40 in hydraulic systems. Does any one have any input on an an alternative to cats 30w transmission drive oil in a 14A?

Thank you but I'm still a bit stumped. I dont see the drive train fluid in an S.A.E.#90 like recommended.

Is cats mil-l-2105 a modern GL-5 gear lube?

It just seems kinda thick to pump through filter element.

The heaviest TDTO is SAE 50
yes, GL5 is equivalent to the old 90wt gear oil.
