Boom Truck Hydraulic Fluid

[miguelon.lizarraga]

I have an Internation 1987 Boom Truck with a Versalift 48' Boom. Does anyone know what type of hydraulic fluid to use? I have heard you can pick it up from Oreilleys or such...

Thanks for your input.

It's the same type of hydraulic fluid used in farm tractor hydraulics. Auto parts stores may have it, but a farm supply store will have it for sure.

That's what I was told, but the auto parts store has 3 kinds. Which of the three is it, lol.

The manual of my versalift called for standard ATF which at first seemed odd but was in fact the spec

ATF, is what is should be. If it is low you might have a leak. Take it to someone and have it serviced. Lives are at stake, don't mess around.

If you read my other post about a line breaking, that would be the reason it is low. I have a person servicing it on friday, but it it requires filling fluid, I would like to have it for him. Thanks for your safety concern.
