Welcome to the OTT forum. You came to the right place to get answers.
If you had titled your post, "Which oil for B1702DT" you would have got a lot more answers and quicker.
I laid mine on its side one time and it wasn't on a hill and the bucket was at minimal height. I was slowly backing up and the right rear tire sunk from the weight and over it went. I was wearing my seat belt and all the safety features work perfectly.
What I meant was "having trouble finding someone local that sells it." I can find conventional 20W-50 oil most anywhere.
I tried AutoZone, Advance Auto, Napa & Walmart with no success.
I took Matt's advise and used 15W-50
Sorry, I didn't mean to start "an oil WAR." :eek: :confused:
Thanks for the replies. :)
What struck me the most, was that it was neither hydraulic or gear oil. :confused:
I just got the wife a new Z121S. :D
While going over the manual, I was amazed to find that the Transaxle uses "Engine oil: API service Classification SL SAE20W-50" instead of hydraulic oil.
Any other Z121 users out there have a recommendation on which brand oil to use?
Without that valve being there, there is NO way for it to close.
I would replace it just to ensure that it worked properly. Kubota would not have paid to put it there if it did not have a purpose.
Welcome to the OTT forum Pete. :) You came to the right place as we love to spend other people's money. :D
Are you going to be moving hay bales? If so, how big? Big hay bales needs a bigger tractor.
When I push snow off mu gravel driveway I put the bucket flat on the ground and then tilt the front blade up just about 1/2" and put the FEL in float.
It works great at removing the snow without disturbing any gravel.
I know what you mean about drying up as we are having one of the wettest winters in history.
I need to put in a new walk but it is so wet that I would ruin the yard around it if I tried doing it now.
You will find that the stock edge on that bucket is pretty hard and will stand up to a lot of use. If using the tiller to loosen the dirt first, it won't even remove that much paint.
When digging without loosening first is when a bar is very helpful.
Over the years, I have moved a lot of dirt...
Like Skeets said, the few times I thought something was worth the effort to bid on and finally got it home to then find out that to repair it was going to cost more than the finish product would be worth, I quit even trying.
