[Dan the roofer]

Hi I bought a GC 2600 today. The guy isn稚 sure exactly what year it is. He said a couple of years old! Whatever that means . It痴 super clean and has 295 hours. Is there any way to find out the year? Serial#JUC92702.
Thanks.

Do you think 2012 is the last year they made that model?

That's what tractor data says.....:confused3:

I guess a couple of years means different things for different people!

Time fly's That's why they tell you to write stuff down like in a home journal......

I bought a new GC2600 in 2009 and the Ser# is JUC92008

Perhaps with enough posts your tractors year can be extrapolated from that data.

I am going from threads long ago with members discussing model years for the GC2300. My memory is a sieve.
The "U" is 2009 manufacture date.
AFAIK tractors have a build date in the serial number. It may not have a model year like a car. It can be sold after several years sitting in a dealers lot, as new. It was possible that someone could purchase a new 3 year old tractor off a lot, and have the model listed as the current year (that it was sold, not manufactured), because that's when the warranty starts, etc.

I also have no manual for the new machine
Gc 2600
What oil do I use in the front diff ?
How much does it take?
When I refill do I just fill by the main cap or do I need to fill the part by the wheel also?
Is the hydro static oil and hydraulic oil all together?
What oil and how much will it take?
Sorry for all the questions, really appreciate it if someone answers them for me.

I guess the only thing I left out is how much engine oil does the little Iseki take?
What grade is recommended?

Front axle takes 4 liters of same oil as the hydrostat.
Lift front of tractor with the loader (if it has one), place stands under front frame. Drain oil, rocking the axle will help drain it.
Hydro takes 11 liters, Kubota SUDT2 personal preference for cost/quality ratio. Due to branding issues, SUDT2 may not be available, Kubota has Premium UDT available in Canada. Check with the parts guy for equivalent.
Engine is 3 liters of Diesel rated oil. Personal preference is Mobil Delvac 0W40 synthetic from Canadian Tire. My tractor gets most of its use snowblowing.
Filters are best from your local MF dealer. Some can be sourced elsewhere, but in Canada it is difficult. I've used Dan R Equipment a couple times for ordering parts.

I bought the service manual for my GC2610 and it says to remove the top plug on each side to allow air to escape and then fill until the hydraulic fluid comes to the centre of the gear that shows in the filler area.

Thank you not2old.

One more question guys. Then I promise I’ll leave you alone lol.
I’ve emptied the hydro oil and I seem to remember people talking about a screen filter.
Is there one? If so where do I find it?
Thanks again.
Danny.

I've misplaced my book right now but remember having to remove one of the rear wheels to access it.
