I got a YM2200 that has been sitting for 5 yrs and need my butt kicked but it was left outside. I want to drain the transmission, hydraulics, oil in engine and diesel fuel before I start it up. It was parked due to steering problems so I expect everything to function correctly when started.
I use Rotella 15-40 in the engine. I think 303 would be correct for the hydraulics. Does 303 also go in the transmission? How much does each one take? I want to be sure to have enough when I go to refill everything. Somewhere I think I read 7.5 qts of oil for engine if changing filter. Is this correct? How much 303 in hydraulics? How much fluid in tranny? I know I will fill each to proper dipstick reading but want a general idea as to how much to buy.
I plan to drain everything and let it sit for a day or so with plugs out to allow the sludge to drain complete. Anything else I need to do as a safety precaution? And yes, it WILL go under the shelter after I get it all fired up....lol. Didn't have a shelter 5 yrs ago.
Thanks in advance for all of your help. This forum is great for us DIY people.
