B6000 Transmission oil question

[joshy]

I purchased a b6000 kubota with a loader on it and it is my first kubota i own. The tranmission was locked up and found 2 gears chipped and smashed together. the case was empty when i received the tractor so what kind of oil is best to run in here and how much do i need to put. I know there is a dipstick but i need to have a rough idea when i purchase it. Thanks



Also on top of the motor what is that rod that connect to two screws inside the rocker cover? it goes back to the dash board and you can pull on it? Im thinking a compression release liek the old one cylinder rollers? Am i correct

Until your sure there are no leaks I would use Gear oil Sae 80,a B6100 and 7100 take 11.5 litres so that quantity won't be too far away from what your B6000 will take. make sure to drain all the old oil there are two more drain plugs on the reduction casings on the rear axle as well as the main drain. Also clean the filter screen,
You are correct in thinking it a compression release.

DO NOT use 80w oil in this transmission!!!!
Use Kubota 4000 trans-draulic fluid or one that meets the specs. The transmission, rear axle & hydraulics are all a common resoviour.

Is this true if you only have the 3 point hitch and no other hydraulics??

Walmart brand hydraulic is fine.

The maintenance manual states use 80W oil for the trans/Hydraulic res.
