I purchased this tractor and am about to change the fluids. Single owner traded it in because it was just sitting around, has about 2500 hrs.
I assume it sat outside for a while because the oil bath has a creamy white fluid in it. When I refill the bath, do I need to use engine oil or is trans/hydra fluid OK? A similarly colored fluid is what I find when I check what I guess is the transmission dipstick. It's located on the left side of the tractor beneath the seat. I am wondering if just sitting outside could cause this, or is there something else that caused it?
I do not see fluid in the power steering unit and wonder if I need to use what's listed in the operators manual, or if I can just use the trans/hydra fluid in that too.
The manuals I have show two fuel filters, this tractor has only one? It doesn't look like it has been fooled with, so I'm wondering if the design changed at some point to a single filter?
Thanks for any insight.
