Hey guys, its me again. I have some maybe "dumb" questions but I am not understanding the owners manual on this TS354C. It states to empty everything and refill it, easy enough. But it says all of the boxes are to be filled with deisel oil. I find that hard to belive that the hydraulic box gets filled with deisel oil? As well as the lifter box. It says to do this after 13-18 hours. it also says to spin off the oil filter and clean it with deisel fuel as well as the oil sump.My assumtion is to use transmission/hydraulic combo fluid on the 2 boxes and deisel oill in the engine and injector pump. Also it says all water in radiator. Wouldnt 50/50 mix be okay even in the summer of antifreeze/water. This maunual is horrible, mispellings and all kinds if weird references. But.....the parts book is nice. Breaks down every part of the tractor by number and picture......thanks

Mike ,
This was posted from greg and it is basically what I use.
Here's what I use in my KM454 (same as yours, less one cylinder)
Crankcase - Shell Rotella T 15W40
Front Diff - Shell Spirax HD 80W90 (non-foaming)
Tranny - Shell Spirax HD 80W90 (non-foaming)
Steering - Shell AW32 (non-foaming)
Hydralics -Shell AW32 (non-foaming)
Injection Pump - Campbell-Hausfield compressor oil (ISO 100)
Cooling System - 50/50 low silicate/water (yours may have no anti-freeze)
I haven't done my injector pump yet and when I did my oil filter I had to destroy it in order to take it off. Make darn sure you clean the sediment filter just under the fuel tank (you'll have to take off the side panel in order to gain access to it). Make sure the fuel tank is full as they are known to get rusty, and the rust will cause problems later.
