1987 312-A

Good day,

Hauling firewood on a 5 degree day last January I noticed a hesitation moving forward on my 312-A.  The hydrostatic trans has been strong especially for the age and hours.  Small job finished, I put it away for the rest of the winter.  Started it last week in much warmer weather and still the hesitation.  Checked and noticed the trans oil container is about 3/4" low from the maunal required 1 3/4" from the top edge of the container.  It says to use Straight 20 weight but I can't find it anywhere. 

Is there a suitable substitute to top off the container? 

Should I drain the rest of the trans oil and fill it with new?

 

Thak you for your time

Welcome to Red Square

The lube charts say to use 30 detergent oil which may be a later revision. Click on the picture in the link and then the 2nd and 3rd pictures are from the lube charts.
