B7100 Complete Fluid Change (oem fluids?)

[Hdoilcan]

I purchased a 1992 Kubota B7100 hst to use just for mowing the lawn. I want to change all the fluids..... engine oil, transmission, front gear case, front differential, steering box, antifreeze, and gear oil for the mower. I think that's all of them. I'm going to purchase genuine Kubota filters but I saw tractor supply sells transmission fluid and gear oil etc. can I use other brand names? Should I stay with Kubota brand name for certain things and ok to use other brand names for other things? I'm not looking to cut corners but if I can save a little $$ by buying a different brand name providing it not going to hurt anything then why not. Also is the antifreeze anything special or do I just use the basic green stuff?

Generally as long as the fluid meets the manufacturer's spec you should be fine. On the transmission I use JD or Kubota fluids. Everything else, a major name brand.

As far as the antifreeze goes,use the regular green stuff that hasn't come in cars for about 15 years now.
Good Luck!

Many, many, many, people use Tractor Supply fluids. Me included.

Travellers Premium fluid will meet all your requirements.

I know that Kubota doesn't make its filters or fluids BUT, I try to use their products where ever possible. They spec out additives and tolerances and therefor they probably better in the long run. Used their UDT/super UDT2 fluids/filters in all my tractors and never had a problem (touch wood). Amsoil in the engine keeps it running/starting better in the cold weather as well.
