Topic: Ferryman 8 HP transmission fluid
I can't find any information in the manuals I got from the previous owner on the proper transmission fluid to use with my Ferryman 8hp on my Contessa 26?

I posted about this a few years ago. 20 weight oil is fine (no detergents!)
20 weight oil...? Ok... The transmission has a threaded bolt on top with a cylinder attached (with no apparent markings)...how much oil do I put it. I guess this is some sort of dipstick?
There is another similar bolt head just above the linkage axis...is this another area where oil is needed...and would that be a different type?
Apologies .. I used 30 weight for the gear oil. On my engine there is a threaded filler cap with a cylindrical tube attached for level. This is right on top of the transmission.
HD SAE 20 for the crankcase
HD SAE 30 for the gearbox
Hello/Bonjour
I concur with your description of the cylinder over the top of the transmission box...however, I couldn't find any markings on the cylinder as to the level required...
Should I just fill to the top or halfway? Thanks for your earlier reply.

Bonjour Philippe,
There should be a notch approx 1" above the end of the "tube" below the filler. I'd be surprised if it is not there!
