My nephew borrowed my brush hog and noticed the gear oil was a bit low. He put in SUDT2 instead of 90 gear oil. He said it was not much, a few ounces, maybe a cup. I don't see any way to change it except maybe vacuum it out. Will that bit hurt a gear box, it is not used that much but I don't want to screw it up. Equipment L3830 ZD21
I don’t think it will hurt anything other than being to light. I would get s suction gun and remove the oil and replace with 90w. It needs it anyway. Look over the bottom seal or pinion seal to see if you can find a leak. Catch and repair early before you burn it up. At least he checked the gearbox, praise him for that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I dont think it will hurt a thing.. I only worry if they go dry or if there is water mixed in. If it hasnt been changed ever, maybe when you get it warmed up, use your extractor to suck the quart or two out and give it a fresh dose of your favorite gear oil..just my opinion.

Thanks, I will change it before I use it again. Just got through plowing snow so it will be a while before I hook the mower up. I didn't know if the Super would enhance the fluids in the gear box, lol. He only used it about an hour so probably did not get it too hot. Equipment M7040, Nuffield 465

Typically, Bush Hog wants a gear oil containing an Extreme Pressure

OK all ya'll that are much smarter than I, got a question relating to this. Good question by the OP. We use large syringes here at work so I got a couple of used ones placed a piece of 5/16" tube on it and sucked the oil out of my hog gear box and refilled. Question, Kubota says I can use SUDT2 in the front end of my L4600 replacing the gear oil that came in
it. So, if Kubota says the SUDT2 oil can be used in place of the gear oil, is it possible the hog in question would be ok or even better if the SUDT2 was used? Just curious what your thoughts are.

Some people use the term "gear oil" without actually realizing other people think 80w90 when they hear that term. MY Kubota
actually says the OPPOSITE. They allow the original Kubota UDT in the front axle to be replaced with 80W90... by the owner. I think that just adds to the confusion of matters. Kubota should be more explanatory, IMO, as to why they allow 80W90 in the front axle equally rated with UDT or UDT2, for that purpose etc. I suspect it's because the front axle fluid isn't used for hydraulic purposes...only gear/bearing lubrication. Are you sure you didn't get the
instructions backwards yourself? I'm surprised the gear box didn't have the specified fluid labelled on the unit. (And while your nephew probably thought he was doing you a favor, the question I'd ask him is, "Why did you not call me first before you decided to do something to my equipt? Would you like me to do that to you? Do you now see why maintenance manuals and specifications are produced?" Last edited: May 22, 2019 Equipment multiple and various

if you live in a hot climate run the gear oil, if you live where it is colder and use it in the winter use the super UDT2 Kubota Super UDT2 provides the following benefits to Kubota equipment: Can I use grease instead of gear oil?Grease lubrication can be used for industrial gearbox systems that are open or closed, as long as they run at low speeds. The grease must have the correct viscosity with good fluidity, especially when used in an enclosed unit. Grease lubrication should not be used for continuous operation or high load gear drives.
Can you use grease in a gear box?There are several methods for lubricating a gearbox, with the most common being grease lubrication, oil splash, and forced oil. Grease lubrication is suitable for low-speed operation, but it provides less cooling than oil, and is not recommended for continuous-duty or heavily loaded applications, even at low speeds.
