Oil & Fuel HYDRAULIC FLUID

[ray66v]

great advice about the amsoil, being it can get to minus 10 here. where can i purchase it? napa?, and yes i will buy the 80-90 w being that the right seal is leaking slightly

You can go online to find a place to buy Amsoil, or order it directly from them.

The 80-90w gear oil is not thicker than the hydraulic fluid. So, it won't help with the leak. There are some seals in there that you have to replace for that.

i am not sure what the previous owner put in the hydro, so i will drain it and put in all amsoil. this may seem like a dumb question, but how do i add photos on here?

I think i was able to add a pic of the tractor, had to downsize the pixels

that's my tractor with the 61'' john deere bucket, worked well with the 78" snow we had two weeks ago

here is one with a good bucket load of snow

I have a 72" loader mounted snow plow on mine, and it is effective.

nice 72'', makes quick work. in your part of ohio, do you get a lot of snow? from north to south i believe there is a big difference. the snow in the bucket is wet heavy snow, i was impressed it picked it as well as it did. tough little tractor, it is doing better than i expected

We don't get a lot of snow, compared to the snow belts. Last year we got 120".

But, somewhere between 65"-100", is common for my area.

Often, it's 3" to 6'' at a time. And, since I have a gravel drive, I may not even plow that, I just pack it down.

But, we do get buried sometimes. And, since it's a windy area, I can get 5' snow drifts.

I have learned where to put snow fence, which sometimes depending on the wind, will leave my driveway pretty clear.
