L4240 GST 1,000 Hour Service

   / L4240 GST 1,000 Hour Service #11  
Last February, I purchased a L3940 GST. First thing I did was replaced all the fluids. If you are doing that yourself, I would encourage you to youtube how to change them prior to performing the tasks. Definitely, when changing the fuel filter.

Been reading through the WSM and ordering filters and fluids.

Can I expect to drain the full 11.4gal of hydraulic fluid? Or will it likely be a bit less? Just wondering exactly how much UDT2 I’ll need to order.

Any reason to prefer UDT2 over 90wt gear oil in the front end?

The capacities are generally total factory fill, and less will be drained out. I would say on the order of 1 gallon for an 11 gallon sump, but who knows. I have always planned on the factory spec and had a little new fluid left over just in case.
As far as the front axle, I have always preferred gear oil as opposed to UDT, even though both are acceptable on the Kubota machines I have owned.

When I changed the hydraulic fluid in my L3940 GST, I bought 12 gallons of UDT2..... I put 10.5 gallons in the case. I put UDT2 in the axle......just because I had the extra 1.5 gallons.
