Straight trans fluid...wait, that sounds weird.
Yeah, it's the way of things these days, but here's hopin' some good ol' Murican parts will start showing up over the next 4 years. I kinda figured they were Chinesium parts, to fit a Japanese tractor, assembled and sold in the USA. I'd say our tractors are quite culturally diverse.
I'm doing the 50/50 Diesel/used oil mix. It's a trailer, not a show car. Got the first coat on before screwing the boards down, and will be putting a second coat on after I get it finished. Probably be slicker than greased monkey snot on a boiled egg when it's wet, but I'm not typically using an open trailer when it's raining, either. Rain means too wet to tractor and too wet to build. Snowing means the global warming theorists were LYING in Alabama. Now that I've put that in print, I'll probably get arrested because a greenie will call the EPA on me. If you only knew my luck......
You can always toss a little sand on it while it's still wet. Makes pretty good anti-skid...
I just got it this year off the dealership floor. Not sure what the manufactur date is?
If you bought it outright, you can request the selling dealer to get you a Certificate of Origin. That is a birth certificate for a tractor.
