953 nut 55,324 #52 Posted April 15, 2021 The front swept axle probably added to the force applied to the too thin pivot point causing the problem. With a much wider pivot point the problem has been solved! Please take a couple minutes and do a separate thread documenting the problem and your repair. This should be posted in the https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/forum/142-instructional-threads-and-videos/ so others can find it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm new to hydros and one thing I read has said to use a non detergent. The manual said "premium motor oil". I didn't know if there was a go to for the hydro system or if any 10w30 would work.

In all six I ran Mobil 1 10W-30 synthetic. In the winter it flowed easier when cold, and in the summer provided better protection with the heat generated.

I didn't know if there was a go to for the hydro system or if any 10w30 would work. the previous engine filter was dated 2016, I’m going to hang out on a limb and guess the trans filter was much older. With that said, an annual maintenance will far outlast the previous maintenance record and I’m sure any oil is better than 5 year old oil no matter the quality. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I threw some 600 grit and WD40 at the hood tonight. It needs 1000/1500, but it took the deep scratches out! The fender scratches are too deep to wet sand out..

Pullstart 62,916 #61 Posted April 19, 2023 I had a bit more caffeine this afternoon than I should have, so I’m out burning off some steam. It feels good to spend some shop time doing what I’d like, instead of what I need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have 6” up front, 7” from the yellow subframe on back to the tail. There’s also a skid of sorts from that front pan all the way back, as the front bracket will bolt to the subframe. I don’t plan on much off road duty with this one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
