Thanks, Ralph, the dropper is a great idea. >From my Universal M-18 manual:
The M-18 comes with the Hurth HBW-50 (2:1) Use AFT Type A oil only or Dextron II and fill the gearbox up to the FULL indented ring mark on the dipstick, approximately 1/4 of the way up the dipstick. Do not overfill. Always use the same type when adding or changing oil. When checking level - dipstick to be INSERTED only...do not screw in. Tighten after adding or checking fluid. Quantity is .29 quarts = .30 liters Tim Millar, Skipper Sea Scout Ship 76 "Spirit" #6254 > As a confirmation of the tranny fluid amount.... > The Attached JPEG file is from the HURTH Owner's Manual.. > It shows the Amount and the "Full" Ring mark on the Dip Stick.. > For the HBW-50 it shows a recommended 0.31 liters.. that's about 10.5 Oz > U.S. > The manual also advises NOT to Over Fill ! > > If I may, I would advise you pick up a small squeeze bulb "eye dropper" > Drug stores carry ..BABY Medicine droppers that work well.. > Then you can add ATF in small amounts..or Remove small amounts in order to > reach the "Ring" mark indicating FULL. > (I also use the Baby medicine dropper to drop measured amounts of BioFlor to > my diesel fuel_) > > Regards, > > Ralph Ahseln > "Oblio" > Gresham OR
