kubota b6100, gear oil leak, common reservoir

[glenpark]

firstly hi ever-body, we in Scotland have a wee question on fill level of the common reservoir and secondly is that yellow nut in the picture the fill site,. We think we have a wee leak and it may be due to the lever for engaging the bucket to be operated making a wining noise when you first engage it , all help well regards Donnchadh

NO! the yellow nut is for adjusting the speed of drop for the lift arms,the fill point is where you have the low pressure return from your loader entering the top of the transmission. The oil level should come up to the mark accross the dip stick.

I have a similar setup that I installed on my B7100, but I didn't want to have to disconnect my loader return to do an oil change.

I put a "T" fitting into the return and can just remove the plug from the top side and fill. I just used standard plumbing parts as its low pressure on the return side and my local hydraulic place didn't have what I needed for the "T".

Good idea with the "T" but you got a twitchy finger on the forward slashes for the link

Is the transmission oil and hydrolic oil the same on a B6100E and what oil can I use? Thanks
