While doing my 700-hour service this afternoon, I realized something I wish I'd known since I bought this machine.

You would think there would be enough cost savings to standardize on one cap for both applications instead of cheaping out on manufacturing and using a second plastic cap. Most likely the engine design engineers don't talk with the chassis engineers.

Could you give a better explanation. Is there supposed to be a picture of something with your post? I see nothing and your sentence doesn't make sense. :confused3:

He's saying that the oil fill cap fits the hydraulic fill cap.. engine cap metal, hydraulic cap plastic.....

The hydraulic fill cap on my DK 35 has a vent tube on it (vent needed), engine oil fill cap does not.

I was going to say the same thing;at least on my Kubota.

Now if we could get it from a dealer at a reasonable cost.....

Maybe the reason for the plastic cap should be determined before we all change over?
My 2 cents
