Cub Cadet 7265

[M4wdFab]

pulled stuff and measured stuff.

140$ order at surplus to change all 8 hoses on loader and convert to easy JIC hoses instead of custom hoses with mis matched ends.


great.


1hour in to google and still no clear sign of any fluid compatible with cub 737-3025 fluid. 

ill do a full 6 gallon change if i can get a substitute, but i guess if im just topping off with the spend cub fluid it will get a couple new quarts only. 

[M4wdFab]

cant find any info on the net thats helpful for fluid.


really dont like 17$ a quart with a 6 gallon system    

[M4wdFab]

found it online for $115 a 5 gallon so 2 of those on the way. 


figured out PN are different for quart, gallon, 5 gallon- that was throwing me

[mr.mindless]

Much better!

I have a little fear of fluid prices when it comes time to put the backhoe together.

[M4wdFab]

that you can probably throw universal tractor fluid in thats like 35$ for a 5 Gallon at TSC


cubs i guess are just picky and nothing really well documented.  i paid 90$ for two filters also on the way, bah. 


but i figure i only ran about 10 gals of diesel through this thing, so it should be good for a while with all new fluids and filters and new hoses on the loader. 

500$ for 5+ years of service meh

[mr.mindless]

Could be much worse!

[M4wdFab]

changed 8 hydro hoses, all worked as planned.


just on the add line on hydro stick so ill run it a bit and then when fluid and filters come in next week do that full 6gal change.

money taken on my card 4/10

no update other than initial order confirmation. 

send request for status last night

got update:  expected to ship 4/25


WTF?

and people wonder why amazon has won. 

[M4wdFab]

hydro and filters changed-  took 5 gallons so thats nice i have enough to do it again next time and didnt need to crack into a 2nd 120$ bucket

MFD gear oil changed


bush hawged out back after mowing today. 

[M4wdFab]

decided to tear apart the gear box in my brush hog today, found very near failure output roller bearing and no out put seal.  oil just was dumping out as fast as you put it in since i have owned it.  looks like someone at one point packed it with heavy grease so thats probably what has saved it.  not sure it would be functional for much more. 

managed to find numbers on bearings and measure seals needed.  40$ to amazon here Friday yay. 

[M4wdFab]

brush hog back together with new bearings and seals and holding gear old, win. 

[M4wdFab]

solid 2 hours of bush hoging on Nicks John street property today. 

this thing is full service duty ready! 

[M4wdFab]

grease job
added 2 quarts engine oil   
blew out air filter and radiator

hydro fluid still looks brand new from service when i got it and did it. 

this thing only gets about 10 gallons of diesel run though it a season so its fine

has 2 or 4 seized grease fittings that i should deal with in loader.

bah, found a thorn in front tire today that decided to be flat and leaky.  odd time of year for that to show it self.
