ck2610 hst 50 hour service

[Valkyrie Rider]

When I did my 50 hour service I changed engine, hydraulic and hst filters (Used all OEM), engine and hydro fluids. Air filter looked new, so left that alone and did not change fuel filter.

I may change fuel filter before winter and also do my second engine oil and filter change since I知 at almost 150 hours now.

Contrary to popular opinion, Magnuson doesn稚 protect you if you suffer an engine lubrication related failure when using an aftermarket filter. You would have to go after the filter manufacturer.

What Magnuson says is, for example, if your radio, water pump, or air conditioner fails, the manufacturer can稚 deny warranty because your tractor has an aftermarket oil filter.

If your fuel injection system fails, and you have a fuel filter without a water separator ( like most aftermarket fuel filters I see advertised), the manufacturer will not provide warranty coverage for the failure.

Manufacturers qualify the products they sell. No way can they even attempt to qualify the miriad of aftermarket will-fit products out there, of varying quality.

well, yeah. That's common sense. It's well understood that the company that makes & sells the filter/pump/fluid assumes liability if a failure/damage is due to their product being defective. The only caveat is that you have to use proper cross-referenced parts/fluids. I can't use Pennzoil 5W-30 in the engine and go after Pennzoil if the engine fails since 5W-30 is the wrong oil to use. Since I used properly cross-referenced parts & oil, I can go after Wix if their parts are defective and I can go after Valvoline if their oil is defective because Valvoline claims their 5W-40 is an acceptable substitute for 15W-40. The Magnuson-Moss act DOES still protects me despite the fact I used aftermarket filters and 5W-40 oil.

Don't listen to people who say you MUST use OEM parts/fluids. All that does is make you pay more.

No, you don’t have to use lemon branded filters and lubricants, but you do have to meet lubricants and filters that meet lemons specifications.

With lubricants, it’s relatively easy, with most manufacturers, because there are industry groups that license and control qualification procedures. For example, API EMA, SAE, and others work in conjunction with the equipment oems. Even thorn, understand that there are products on the market that just barely meet the minimum qualifications, we called them “ fighting grade” oils, and there are those that exceed the standards by a wide margin, ie premium products.

Filters, not so much. There is no industry wide policing organization that I am aware of, o you can’t rely on any advertising or marketing claims as to product suitability or quality. You are usually ok sticking with major brands, but there’s some real junk out there, or at least there was when I worked in the OEM engine industry.

The only products that are definitively qualified and warranted by the oem are those in his box.

The mechanic that just worked on my tractor told me to change out my Baldwin fuel filter because he didn't think that it had the same micron filtration as the Daedong filter. I had a spare Daedong in my garage and swapped it out. I'll try and find out what the filtration rate on both of them are.

Your points are valid. I'm comfortable using WIX because they make a quality product. If my engine or hydraulic failed due to a failure with their filters, then I have complete confidence that they'd cover the repairs. At the end of the day, WIX filters get the job done and cost about half as much as Daedong filters do. The risk/reward calculation is pretty simple in this case.

- I hadn't been checking my front diff fluid level like I should have and it was nearly empty. No signs of a leak or anything, but I had to add at least a quart. I'll be diligent about checking the level before use from now on

After reading your post I checked my front diff.... I had to add 1 1/4 quart to bring it up to full. Thanks for the heads up

Might want to search around on the Wix filters recently. Change of ownership and quality has dropped significantly. Several Land Cruiser (another forum I'm on) owners have experienced loss of oil pressure using Wix filters. When opening them up found the anti drain back valve in pieces clogging the passages. I'll never put anything other than oem oil filters in any of my equipment or vehicles. I mean seriously, how much cost savings is it really? Also...go after them...? You're a mouse fighting a lion.

I'm approaching 50hrs on my 2610HST and I'm a little confused about the HST and hydraulic fluid change. I have ordered the filter kit that has the oil, fuel, HST, hydraulic, and air filter. Various posts on TBN seem to indicate that the HST and hydraulic fluids are separate, but the manual only covers transmission fluid and filter. Are there separate drains for the HST and hydraulics? Where are the drain bolt and fill port for the hydraulics and what is the capacity? I have 7.5gal of Mobilfluid 424 to cover the 5.8gal of transmisison fluid per the manual, but now I'm not sure I have enough if the hydraulics are separate.

Thanks for the info!

I haven't heard of any instances of two reservoirs. Two separate filters, one reservoir.
