AHS 1,443 #1 Posted November 12, 2019 Its got 1” axles, I don’t know if that makes a difference... it has water in it. And with what? 80W90? 80W140? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,337 #4 Posted November 13, 2019 You will want to flush it out with diesel fuel. What you need to do is lift the front end of the tractor up safely as high as you can and drain out what is in it. Then fill it up with diesel fuel run it around the yard a few times and drain it out again the same way. Do this until it comes out clear. Once you drain the last bit of it out add 2 quarts of 90 weight gear oil ! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 68,357 #6 Posted November 13, 2019 We use Wally world straight 90 oil. Definitely want to follow all the above advice. @The Tool Crib Randy has a great idea with flushing... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
