[quote="ShawnP"]Does anyone have a pdf or a quick link to the 12a fluid specs (oil, final drive, hydraulics etc)
Thanks[/quote]
I am not sure about 12A in particular but didn't many of the 955 machines used the same oil in the engine, hydraulics, transmission, steering clutches, and maybe finals. It was supposed to be the 'need to carry only one oil' solution. Someone should be along to either confirm or straighten me out.
Engine-30W diesel oil or 15W-40
Transmission-30W drive train oil or 10w hyd trans oil below 32 deg.
Final Drives-50W gear oil or 80W-90 gear oil
Hydraulics-10W hydraulic or AW32 hyd oil

Rome--wouldn't that be 50w diesel oil in the finals?? Thats what my 941B calls for
No, Cat has 50W transmission/drive train oil and 50W final drive oil. I have used the trans/drive train for years with excellent wear reduction.
Thanks--I'll have to look into that--perhaps i should switch? I have power shift and wet steering clutches so i switched to the TO4 oils in them
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
