I picked up the filters and oil today since they are original. I'll change those when I get a chance, its been raining non stop so when its sunny out...I'll get it warmed up good and change them.
When you do the HST filter on the no step side, it has a magnet in it. Don’t be alarmed at the metal you find. It did its job. The metal is just casting flash and slivers from machining.

This was mine at 125hr.

Yep mine had a little bit on it. I already knew it was pretty normal and it was a small amount too. I had to add 3/4 of a gallon of hydraulic oil back in and I checked the front diff and had to add 2 quarts! I want to switch it to gear lube but I'm just gonna run it for now with the UDF-2 and when I change the engine oil..maybe next summer I'll switch it out. Should be fine throughout winter.
