ok, im gonna go buy a air compressor powered grease gun tomorrow since its only 18$ at autozone, and i cannot find the hand powered ones we have... should that be ok? and ill get some grease cartridges as well, is there any special grease i should be aiming for? i dont know what they used before, so ill just jam it full of new grease i suppose....
also, i saw instructions for removing the hydraulic fluid filters, but is that the same location i should check levels and add fluid? or is there somewhere else to add? also the curved valves i see with red paint on them located at various points on the tractor maybe 2 or 3 total, what are those for? just purging excess or what?
there are also large bolts with red paint on them, like on the front axle, are those the points for adding fluid?
one more thing, i have 5 qts of sae, 10w-30 motor oil here, and cannot tell if it is c rated or s rated... no indications on bottle, its pennzoil and says active cleansing agents. will this do? it also says for any gasoline engine, this worries me since i did some reading and oils made for diesel engines have much more cleaning ingredients... but i keep reading people using the 10w30....
sorry for sounding like a noob guys, but i guess i am, i moved out here to colorado about a year ago and barely knew how to change oil on a car, got me a diesel truck and tractor, and have been learning ever since, any info no matter how "noobish" u think it is, will be GREATLY appreciated....
thanks again, u guys are great, got lucky finding this site!
