2 things, is this fluid ok for this unit? I use it in Kubota G1800.
Also I think the 3 point arms are backwards.
Just ordered bonded dowty washers to fix leaky 3rd function valve.

The service manual sucks it says use 10w40 oil but why not list 15/40 diesel oil?
What's best?

Yes your arms are backwards - switch left and right lower arms. Also I finally bought a set of pin style connecting links for the lower arms - holds them out for attaching 3PT implements then you can adjust in once mounted - shoulda done that years ago.

Did the dealer change the fluid at 300 hours? If i recall it has 325 hours on it? If this is to "top off" the fluids it's probably fine, but if youre going to change it the TSC AW 46 is inexpensive $50 for 5 gal, Then there are other "better" fluids out there - JD Hygard and a others - see what your dealer recommends.

Just went over 400 and they just did full service before sold.
Yes, top off after fittings repair this weekend.
Bought it at 394hrs.
Where did u get those pin links?

I got mine on Amazon but there are a number of sellers out there E-K2561-38300FR Stabilizer Kit for B & BX Kubota BX1500D, BX1800D, BX2200D, A+ | eBay

E-K2561-38300FR Stabilizer Kit, Telescoping 3 Point Stabilizer Kit - I had to grind down the end that attaches to the lift arm - just rounded it off a bit to fit - not a big deal.

Not bad for $80
I got my o-ring washers in, no more leaks and now have a few in the kit for future.
Turned 3 point around as well.
Seen a full set of Kubota's for $250 on MP but I need a box blade next.

 

[Carl_NH]

No - its $40 for the set - cheap and they work well.

 

[dinoedwards]

WOW! I thought said each, thx

I see Texaco TDH oil, 1893 in one manual and think no longer made.
I see TSC AW 46 or Mobilfluid 424.
Have a small leak on dipstick o-ring and might as well change filters and check screen.
Will AW46 hurt warranty? What filter are u guys using?

Also going to use 15/40 engine oil instead of 10/30.
Thoughts

I'm confused - if the dealer just did the major service at 350 or so hours - why do it again so soon? Is the hyd fluid milky or discolored, or smell burnt? The same with the engine oil - no need to change it so soon.

If manual says AW 46 Trans fluid, then get the TSC $50 for 5 gal. For engine oil I use the Rotella 15-40.
