fluid

How concerned should I be about Kubota ZD326 mower deck gearbox fluid that looks a little like coffee with way too much cream in it? It's not foamy when I finish mowing, but it isn't clear. I have never left this thing open, but I did leave it outside while I was working on it, with the fill...

dumb question, but does this mean its below visible? i got paint on the glass and scratched it off today. i don't think this shows anything?

On a 1984 555, can someone share the hydraulic fluid flush procedure? I’ve removed the tank and cleaned the metal screen inside it. I have a filter element coming in a day or two that fits in the canister on the right side of the tractor. But how do I get the fluid out that’s in the lines and...

Who uses Tractor Supply Premium Hydraulic Fluid and how often do you change your fluid? I own a 2014 Boomer 24.

Checking to see how everyone’s sight-glass level rides when in use. At rest, my level is mid glass, which is where Yanmar wants it. When warmed up and in use, no fluid on sight-glass. When turned off and cooled down, FEL down/3pt down, returns to mid glass level. I assume all is fine...

It's time for the 50 hour maintenance on my MF 1E.25, which is very similar to the 1825E The manual calls for changing the hydraulic filter and fluid and says to use Permatran 821 XL or equivalent. It doesn't give the specs for the Permatran 821 XL. From my searching it appears to be 15W-40 and...

I am looking at two different hydraulic oils with wildly varying prices. According to their specs, either will work. I know that everyone recommends SAE 90 for N tractors. That's currently $99 for three 2 gallon containers. I can't find it in a five gallon pail. The other is Traveller Premium...

Kubota Hydraulic fluid is costly is it not wise to use a cheaper brand? I'm sure kubota is not making there own.

I was using my B2630 with snow plow attachment on the front bucket to clear snow from the road shoulder approaching my driveway entrance when the plow hit a hidden immoveable object (presumed ice mound put there by town plows) buried under fresh snow. Immediately starting gushing hydraulic...

Hello to all, Wanted to determine what kind of hydraulic fluid you are using in your tractor? I used the Kub UDT before, but the price has skyrocketed. I know it's much cheaper to use expensive hyd-fluid vs a trip to the dealer to fix my hydraulic system. However, has anyone found a suitable...

I’ve got a 2016 kubota L4400 that needs the hydraulic fluid changed and was wondering what fluid to use. Thanks

I have a Jinma JM354LE that I bought new around 2006. It got bitterly cold out and when I started the tractor, the steering wouldn't budge a millimeter. I knew it was overdue for fresh fluid, so pretty much totally my fault. I let the tractor run for 10 or 15 minutes and then with judicious use...

Hello to all, My Kubota 1996 M5400S w FEL has barely 900hrs on it [weekend farmer at best]. I change the hydraulic fluid about every 6-8yrs and when I do, the old fluid looks just like the new fluid I am getting ready to install. My tractor has 2 hydraulic filters. When I change the h-fluid...

The plastic windshield washer fluid tank on my L4060 HSTC just shattered from being in the sun. Kubota list price is around $300.00 and an aftermarket from overseas is $200.00 plus an unknown tariff fee. So I ordered an aluminum 1 liter expansion tank for $25.00 to make my own replacement. The...

Hi all. I was having an alarm come up which I found to be low brake fluid in the reservoir. I quickly topped it off with dot 4 brake fluid which it took very little of, maybe 250ml/0.06 gal. Reading now, I should have used ambra LHM fluid and that dot 4 brake fluid will wreck the seals. I...

This is embarrasing, I didn't think about the correct fluids so I went ahead and replaced them with normal (Sae 90 hydraulics&gearbox) 20w50 for the engine (Like on a MF 135). Well as it turns out my Ford model is from earlier types and doesn't have a shared sump meaning I ran my hydraulics on...

There is a small but important gear box on my 3PtH snow blower (about 30 years old) that has started seeping oil. Without a garage or nice workshop I don't want to change the seals in the middle of winter (7 deg. below this a.m.) With that said I plan to just add gear lubricant as needed...

Hello, I just did the 50 hour service on my CK260. After doing the service, and ensuring I had the HST fluid at the right level, I noticed that it appeared to be foamy (see pic). The foam was on the dip stick after coming up to temp and checking it warm. I stopped by my local dealer and...

I just purchased a Bobcat MT120. The owner of the Bobcat shop warned me that if there were any warranty issues related to hydraulics, Bobcat would take a sample of the fluid and that using any rental equipment would have the possibility of voiding warranty since attachment fluids mix. Has this...

I have a New Holland TC40D. I was pushing a large tree that had fallen with the 16LA loader and blew two hoses. I changed them out but have a large leak coming from somewhere mid-point on the tractor. Oil is dripping constantly. It appears to be in the area of the manifold diverter box...

Is there a way to run chemical diagnostics on hydraulic fluid similar to what is done for engine oil? Or actually the automatic transmission fluid in the truck. If so, who does it? Just wondering if I can pull samples and have them analyzed to check for wear of components, and remaining life...

I bought this tractor (2021) used, about 1 year ago with 175 hours on it. Today I was adding some rear remotes and had to undo hoses connecting to the power beyond port on the tractor. This fluid looks way too dark for 315 hours, right? The oil smells fine... should I be worried? The manual...

I recently acquired a Case IH 454. Mostly been good but has given intermittent hydraulic issues e.g. bucket won't lift. The guy before me changed (or got someone to change) the hydraulic fluid and (I assume) put the right stuff in there. When I purchased it I thought it was low on hydraulic...

I'm having trouble with my L370Grand losing oil from the HST vent. I mean it flows out in a steady stream. I pulled the filter off and all 10.5 gallons ran out. Is this normal?

Hello You'll, I noticed that my 4WD Shift Lever is leaking (pouring) Hyd Fluid from where it enters the Sump. After consulting with my local Mahindra Dealership Service Dept, I was informed of their backlog and the lead-time to get it looked at/worked on. One of the Serviced Technicians...

Kubota wants an arm and a leg for their hydro fluid! Is there a comparable fluid I can use?

The FEL is using the normal place you would fill the hydraulic as a return. Is removing the return the only way to fill the tractor hydraulics?

I somehow lost the dip stick at the rear for checking hydraulic fluid level. I ordered a new one from local dealer but it has been on backorder since last January. I'm to the point that I will make my own. If anyone could provide a picture showing the length I'd be all set. Would be greatly...

I have a 2000 L3710 Grand HST that suddenly started blowing all of the fluid out of the transmission breather. I mean it pours out. Everything, FEL and PTOs and drive work fine. I changed the hydro filter and that didn't help. I did recently change all of the loader lines but that was 10 hours...

My brother has a Case 580c backhoe with no brakes. The master cylinder is empty of fluids. There is some dispute if DOT 3 or hydraulic fluid is needed on certain years. Nothing in his manuals and nothing on the master cylinder caps. The serial number on a tag on the engine is...

In my Rural King RK37SC, I've always used the Rural King Providence store brand of "Premium Trans-Hydraulic Oil, Multi-Trac Formula for Use In Most Applications" which meets the John Deere J20C spec and many other specs, and costs about $15 per gallon. But they also sell "CAM2 PROMAX Premium...

I bought a new 1526 last year, time for 50 hr. service. The OM says after changing hydraulic fluid and front axle fluid the systems must be bled. Here is my problem...the pictures showing the location of the bleed screws in my OM looks nothing like my engine and I'm not at all sure where the...

Hi all. This is my first post here. I recently replaced all the hydraulic fluids in this tractor, except the rear axle. I think I found the drain but can’t find a fill. Does it get the fluid from the same place as the main gearbox or is it separate. If it’s the same then I guess I already...

Will the tractor supply traveler brand universal transmission fluid work in a 2010-11 mahindra 5530 4x4?

Earlier this week I decided to change the transmission/hydraulic oil in my Zetor 5211 and do a filter change/screen cleaning. After draining it out and cleaning the screen and doing the filter change, I went to town to buy a bucket of 80w90 and a little extra. Well, the local tractor supply...

I hit 600 hours, and my hydraulic filters were due, fluid was coming up and I've been wanting to swap the fluid to synthetic for a while, so all that happened today. Draining it was pretty straight forward. I used an oil extractor through the fill port and pulled out almost 5 gallons. Then...

Our 333G calls for John Deere Hydrau, not hyguard. Part number TY27366, but I wondered if anyone uses a different brand. Our machine still has a year warranty left on it, and I was worried about voiding it if I use off-brand, because 2.5 gallons is about $90.00. I'm open to using other brands...

I have a New Holland 640 hay roller. I had to repack the bale density cylinder. Does anyone know what kind of oil I need to use to refill it. It is a closed system with no reservoir.

I have a handy dandy bucket with a hydraulically belt driven unloader. I use it for single handedly putting mulch around plants and bushes. Anyway, I put it on the FEL and when I connected the hose all seemed fine until I tested the action. One direction it works great. WHen I try the...

The bushings on each end of the drive shaft was shot so I replaced them also and charged fluid in transmission and filter then I let it set for a year or longer before I started it up transmission took off like it's suppose to but after a few minutes it slows down pulling

So I got recently 2 pails of amsoil hydraulic fluid. https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-iso-32-100-synthetic-multi-viscosity-hydraulic-oil-hvh/ Got it in iso32 because I use my tractor in the winter too and it gets pretty cold up here. Paid $500 for the 2 pails, but now starting to have doubts is...

I have a Kubota B6100 w/ front loader I just bought. Trying to change/ fill the hydraulic fluid but the loader hose is attached where the fill plug is. What’s the best way to do this? New to tractors.

I see Summit recommends a VG 32 or VG 56 hydraulic oil in the owner's manual. I will be using VG 56 because of the warm climate. Does Summit recommend a particular brand or brands, or certain additives? Thank you -Andrew

Hi, All: I just removed a blown hydraulic hose and should add back what was removed from the hose, so, I am asking: 1) What type of fluid to use (is it 80W90)? 2) Where to add the fluid? Is it one of the top bolts on top of the transfer case? I see a dipstick there but no idea what that...

The shaft for the 4 wheel drive is leaking fluid at the rear of the tractor. The shaft is loose and I can slow down the leak by pushing the shaft back and or rotating it. I am wondering if there is a seal that I can replace. I am trying to find a diagram with part numbers so I can repair this...

Hey all. Would anyone have any ideas why I seem to be moving fluid from the hydraulic system (tank under the seat) to the main gearbox (yellow dipstick aft of the engine?). Seems to be happening this time of year when I have the Kubota v plow on it and using it. Didn’t seem to do it over the...

Hello to all, Does anyone know who makes this for Kubota? Obviously, Kubota is not in the refining business and has someone make it for them. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in-advance, tstex

I am working on a ym180d , Can you tell me what type of oil is used in the gear box?

I have a 4630 93 two wheel drive and want to change the fluid can somebody tell me where the drain plug is

Can the HST fluid level be too high or is it just a fluid reservoir for the hydraulic system?

I just finished completely draining and replacing hydraulic fluid and filters on my ck 25 kioti. Now it is not engaging . Barely moves and a whining sound.Looking for any idea's.

I have a mid 2000s Kubota R520s that I bought used and is kind of a clunker. Since I’ve owned it, hydraulic fluid overflows out of the brake fluid reservoir while operating it after a short period of time. The LST oil pressure light stays on during operation and despite that, the tractor still...

I bought a used Yanmar SA424 and immediately changed all fluids and filters. The tractor ran great all summer, but I was slow to address a small leak in one of the backhoe lines. I topped up the fluid in the fall, and noticed that the steering was stiff initially when cold, but would return to...

New to the chat. My 2006 Kubota Transmission fill port has a hydraulic return line attached to it. How do I fill the transmission with fluid when I’m changing the fluid? Any advice would be appreciated

I don't see anything in the little window so I called the service department where I bought my tractor. He told me the fluid is clear and unless I know it leaks it should be fine. No dipstick, why is there just a 'window' if the fluid is clear? Pictures for your perusal.

The attached photo is of my transmission sight gauge and I'm trying to determine if it's overfilled or is low. I don't remember if there's an interior tube within the square acrylic outer tube (or case) or if the golden trans fluid is supposed to fill the entire square case. I had a cylinder...

Does anyone have a source for a cheaper cap for a kioti windshield washer fluid reservoir cap. Mine didn’t fit when I bought the tractor and now it’s completely missing. The only one on line was around $18 for something that shouldn’t be more than $5.

How does one go about changing the filters with out changing the hy fluid? It seems this would be a huge mess when taking the filters off. Or is it a matter of draining the fluid first in to a bucket or two. 2003 NH TC45D Thanks

Gotta clean this up before the misses gets back home, yikes! Was using BY85 backhoe on my TYM T574H and afterward, scooping up the spoil pile with the loader bucket. Going to check levels, but I don’t see anything on the fittings up front, could this be from the backhoe? Any easy way to find...

Wondering if I can use Castrol UTF in my hydrostatic transmission for the transmission / hydraulics in my Emax 25? Manual says to use API GL-4 grade, 80w gear oil. Can't find these specs with the castrol. Thanks!

I never have really understood what the hole in the bottom of the tractor was for. It has a pin in there to keep it open and occasionally fluid / oil drips a bit, but the other day, fluid just started spewing from there. I shut the tractor down but more than a gallon of milky oily fluid was...

Ive got a new to me 2008 branson 2910i and am going to do a hyd fluid & filter change but not sure what to use in the front axle. Do it take the same fluid or do you use gear oil? Would like to find an owners manual but no luck so far.

In researching hydraulic fluid levels for this tractor am I correct in that I check 2 different places. 1). The transmission level for transmission and 3 point at plug next to clutch pedal. 2). The hydraulic reservoir at the controls for the loader with dipstick. Thanks.

Yesterday I was bush hogging a hilly pasture and had a brake system failure… luckily I had just reached the bottom of a hill when the anomaly happened! I’m trying to wrap my head around what happened, how to prevent it, and any advice or insight the forum may have to offer. some things about...

Hey, love the forum, first time poster, long time lurker. I recently picked up a 2006 GC2300, reading 395 hours (I don't think its 1395... the last hydraulic filter read 2017 and 195 hours). Its in pretty good shape, looks well enough cared for. I went through and changed all of the critical...

I bought a new-to-me older diesel Ford pickup. It's in great shape but has some frame rust I would like to neutralize. Could I just get a couple gallons of fluid film, a gallon garden sprayer and spray the underside myself? Has anyone done this? Is the viscosity thin enough on a hot summer's...

I just did a fluid change (100 hrs.) and I had to add red dye to make the hydraulic fluid visible. I had overfilled it and had to syphon some out. Now I am a little confused - with loader and 3pt arms up I have nothing in the sight glass. With them down the sight glass shows full with just a...

I have a manual transmission tractor. It loses about 2 quarts of hytran fluid in 10 days or so. There are no visible leaks, drips, wet spots that I can see whether it is running, parked or just sitting there. There is nothing attached to the rear remotes. It has a front end loader and...

Hello, I have a hydraulic leak and I think the culprit is the shaft which is used to open and close (what I believe is) the hydraulic lines. Something has caused the shaft to have an oblong rotation and it also seems like it has more wiggle than it should. I've included a couple pictures. I've...
