New to the Orange world

[BearWV]

Hello, as of today I am now the proud owner of a 2011 L3200HST with 155 hours. I happened into a sweetheart of a deal.
I'm pretty new to tractors in general but I'm a quick learner. I also have a 61 Oliver 550 I'm restoring.
Anyway my question to you fine men and women is my filters all appear to be stock, the two most visible are still the painted grey.
I have ordered replacement filters already and don't plan on moving it until the fluids are changed.
Am I correct to assume that those are stock?
Am I best off to replace with Kubota brand fluids or will any work...or are there brands to stay away from?
Again I thank you all in advance.

Yea they are mostly likely the factory filters. I would defiantly do a service on the tractor for piece of mind. I personally stick with kubota fluids they seem to be reasonable priced but really any good quality fluids that meet kubota specs will be fine.

Welcome and congrats! Yes, if the filters are grey the original owner either has a lot of time on their hands and like color coordination and spray paint or they are original. No one makes grey filters so you can bet they are original. I stick with Kubota filters and oil because it's easy and I don't have to worry about any problems. That's not the cheapest option but it works for me.

You will want to change all the fluids before you work her for sure. 155hrs on original engine oil is not good. HST can stand more abuse but needs to be changed as well.

Grab fuel filters as well and check the air filter which could go either way depending on the conditions it was used in.

Congrats!

The operator's manual has the maintenance schedules. TC420-1971-2.

The only fluid which may be picky would be the hydraulic fluid, and supposedly the Kubota Super UDT runs smoother.

Engine oil and filter should have been changed at 50 hours.

Hydraulic oil filter also at 50 hours, but not the fluid.

Transmission oil filter at 50 hours, but not the fluid.

Enjoy your new machine!
