I have several Kubota mowers, they all have a deck gearbox. 2 i know have gear oil in them. Kubota says SAE80-SAE90 OR UDT or SUDT2, I put 75-90 synthetic in one and 80w90 in the other. Gearbox 3, i do not know what is in it. I just acquired it.
Multiple people tell me to put 00 grease in. These gearboxes are very expensive when they break, the problem is you dont know they are leaking until a problem occurs. I.E. something goes bang. 2 of the 3 are diesel powered, while quieter than the ZG20(gearbox 3), they also go clack clack clack.
Some guys at work use semi fluid for semi trailer wheel bearings. While i feel it is good, it is also $30 for 28oz. It is matrix 460 by Neo brake.
I also have some 00 grease from Tractor Supply, it was $5.
Recommendations?
Is the Tractor supply grease ok? And change it every other year?
Find a better 00 grease?
Should i put this in the lawn mower section?
