Changing the oil in the d 160!

Recommended Posts

I cant believe folks don't know how to change oil! I changed the oil in the 1976 D-160 in the transmission and the Onan bf ms 2929 motor. She runs and drives a bit better! I used my wix filters and SAE 30 in the motor and 10w30 in the transmission. That is what the book calls for and that is what i used. Im pretty sure this is the original filter! Eww!

I also wanted to ask. I put 4 quarts of 10w30 in the old transmission. I even drove it around it shows as full! Is this ok?

5 qts is only if the system has been opened and completely drained lift cylinders and all.  You are OK

If it runs and drives OK but no lift then there is a mechanical jam up...or the implement relief valve spring/cone valve failed

What is this? and where is it located? I am going to either today or tomorrow unhook the cylinder to see what is going on. I here the pump trying to but nothing is happening. When I try the motor even boggs down

If the motor bogs down you probably have a mechanical jam up...The implement relief valve is in the pump head and is a major project to access.  exhaust all other potential issues first.  Unhook the cylinder from the lift linkage...

Good to know I will do that first then go from there! Thanks for the advice!

Ok wanted to update the lift cylinder moves! I did what you said and unhooked it to see if it was jammed. It was operator error. LOL! I didnt push the lever down far enough. i felt like an idiot. it moves fast in and out. like it should now to use some bronze wool and clean up the cylinder. Here is my youtube video i did. Now i need a front plow!!
