So in summary you are loosening tolerances and using A36 over more desirable but expensive grades to shave costs and win bids. If that passes muster with the customer's decision maker in chief I guess thats fine. I have helped write and evaluate bids on more than one multi-million dollar RFP...

You can minimize the amoung of residual oil in the system by lowering 3pt and fully retracting all cylinders. Dan

Please read your manual SUDT2 is preferred buf UDT (UniversaL Dynamic Transmission) oil is acceptable in all transmissions. UDT predates SUDT by about 10 years and is nothing more than a Kubota branded industry standard (J20C) tractor hydraulic fluid. There are many, many equivalent products...

One might be tempted to think widespread deployment of rooftop/ground array PV solar could power structures and supply a significant decentralized backfeed into the grid for redistribution. NAH - thats got to be fantasy. Dan

There are a multitude of options starting around $300 for a generic joystick loader valve (Summit and friends). You can spend considerably more depending on how closely you want to match the behavior of the OEM valve. Mosr people find the $300 variety adequate. Dan

Cut the crap. For all practicsl purposes Everything is eythylene glycol Everything is extended life (OAT in some form) with IAT ("conventional green") being the lone rare and easily identified exception Dan

Its the weather. I was just in Advance three days ago and was going to pick up some Dex but they were sold out. Everything was in low supply or sold out except for the IAT crap that was fully stocked and collecting dust on the top right corner. Dan

I will mske it reskal easy for you. Ethylene glycol is the base for just about every brand of autooitive coolant made. Propylene glycol is a very rare and uncommon exception and usually advertised as nontoxic. Sierra used to be one. Hint - ethylene glycol is extremely toxic. Extended life...

Short answer: Read your owners manual. Long answer; Kubota recommends either their premium SUDT2 transmission oil or their regular UDT product. SUDT2 is a superior formulation especially well suited to HST transnissions and strongly recommended by Kubots. UDT is a conventional universal...

So was the post. I forgot to hit the Post Reply button :confused:

It sounds like your real complaint is cost and want to pinch pennies by using A36. I am a hobbyist just outside Baltimore and can and do buy all of those steels except 1020 in rounds from my local retail service center. I buy mill lengths in hot and cold rolled 1018 rounds up to 4.5". Over...

Every jug of coolant in my shop says ELC or LLC ethylene glycol on the label. You will be hard pressed to find anything else in an auto supply store. Dan

[ A36 is a hot rolled structural steel and totally fine in that application. 1020, 1018. 1045, and a host of other "mild steels" are readily available with or without CERTS. A36 machines like crap and any shop that loads it in a machining center has only themselves to blame for the results.. Dan

You are refering to a problem with cavitation erosion on wet sleeve diesels. Coolants treated with nitrites are effective at reducing that cavitation. Not applicable to Kubota engines. We have beat this topic to death. Kubota has clear and easy to understand guidance in their current manuals...

Assuming the old fluid is not contaminated just drain and refill the sump. The old fluid in the loader is not a concern. Dan

Steering while operating the loader is essential for most people. Your LX has a separate PS pump that makes that possible. The OEM.power steering system on a B7200 used a priority flow divider to make that possible. Dan

I rhink you are talking about the damper on the pedal. Dan
