Re: Iseki Owners!!!!
Yes, I changed all fluids and filters immediately upon purchase. For the Transmission/Hydraulics/Wet Brakes I used Mobil 424 Universal Hydraulic Fluid and a Napa 1664 Hydraulic filter. I have now purchased my next filter, cross referenced the Napa to a Baldwin BT 260-10 (10 is for 10 micron) which I will install on the next fluid change. I am probably going to go with either Citgo Transgard Universal or Citgo Mystic JT-5 for the Fluid on the next change. My transmission housing is stamped TA210-3 and as far as I can tell only has one large drain plug hole. When I drained it, I took out 5 gallons, which is what it is advertised to hold. It is also located at the lowest portion of the transmission, so I believe it is the proper release point. Believe most recommendations call for a change in the 150 - 200 hour range... Not sure and cannot guarantee the following numbers apply for your tractor as they are from the Japanese Parts Manual for the TA 210... You can run most of these numbers through the online cross reference features of most of the Filter Manufactures web sites....

I am currently using Citgo Mystic JT-8 Heavy Duty 10W30 oil in the winter, and 15W40 in the summer. I use Ag Dyed Diesel that I buy at the local Cenex Co-op and add Power Service Diesel Supplement at 3.2 ounces @ 5 Gallons of diesel which is the recommended full strength for anti gelling in the winter and year around centane boost and fuel injector lubrication.
I installed an overrun clutch on the PTO to assist with mowing due to the transmission setup. I'm using a First Choice 5 ft. rear discharge in Blue that matches very well with the color. Thats really about it, I have not had one problem with my tractor. It starts every time and runs great....
