Great tip, enjoy the sun 🌞 while we have it ✌️🤘🇨🇦🔥

Good advice GP to call dealer to confirm what fluid was used. The 1st thing I did when I got my LX was check all the fluid levels, all grease fittings and that all of the nuts and bolts were tight (torque spec) before using the tractor for the 1st time. To my delight the dealer that I purchased from had everything done to spec. When my LX reached 50 hours I changed all of the fluids and all of the filters even though it was not required at that interval. Checking the fluids prior to each use only takes a minute and can prevent an unwanted disaster. Have a good day!

Great tip Gord. I've been looking at that thing and telling myself "I need to check that", but...what can I say, I'm a procrastinator! Your video has me motivated. I'm going to the garage and check it right now! Thanks! Annnnd.....60 seconds later, all good. Level squarely in the good zone. That was stupid-easy and I feel silly for not having done that already! Thanks again.

@michaeldaniels8556 Год назад

True, it's a good check for sure. Do the same on my LX

@olddawgdreaming5715 Год назад

Great catch Gord, like the way you operate. Better to be safe than sorry, NEVER ASSUME, call the dealer to be sure. Your equipment will outlast others way more because you are not afraid to ask . Keep up the good work around there and stay safe and always enjoy what you are doing. Fred.

@keegantimber8571 Год назад

Yep. My 2601 has a front axle dipstick as well.

@ranger6x660 Год назад

I always check my fluid levels after getting something from a dealer. You never know when they may have missed something. They get busy and it has happened.

@justindavis1546 Год назад

I had the same question before picking up my tractor. Noticed in the manual it could be either so I asked before taking delivery.

@ctskidoo Год назад

My front axle service is 400 hours but I did first change at 200 hours and do each 200 hours. I use my grapple and loader quite a bit so figured it can't hurt to change the axle oil a bit more frequently. Not sure if it really makes a difference. I usually check the axle oil when I grease my loader

@daveyoder1436 Год назад

I know with some new tractor you can have an air pocket underneath the oil that eventually works it way out making the level look lower that it was.

@bradasmith Месяц назад

Just did my 200 hours and checked it on my lx2610. Larkin is my dealer as well, so thanks ; i will know to use UDT when needed

@TelescopeJunky Год назад

During the initial fill and/or dealer PDI, they will fill it to the right level. Unfortunately it takes time for the oil to get down into the final drives so the level may go down over time. They (dealer) will not wait for that to happen as it can take days to do so, even with use. It is important that when draining and refilling the front axle you check it after every use for a few times to see if you need to add any more gear oil as it works its way into the final drives. 🙂

Thanks!

@ernestkooistra1559 Год назад

TY. Cheers

@bay9876 Год назад

Ok to spring a leak on a tractor but not so good on a rowboat in the middle of a lake. Snows coming and the maintenance on the tractor is a lesson learned. Thanks for the heads-up on checking all possible issues before the snow reaches three feet or more.

@rescueteam6706 Год назад

Great advice Gord! Thanks for the video!!

@Tom-bb9td Год назад

Just a note: You can differentiate the oil type by smell. Gear oil has a unique smell and once you smell it, you will know. Consistency of the oil is different, too. Gear oil is a less viscous(more like maple syrup).

@madcow5x5 Год назад

That's some good information.....

@iamGrowing Год назад

Nice. Mine was still good when I checked the other day at 95 hours. Thanks for video.

@bhall7997 Год назад

GP the B2601 has same dip stick. Yours may have been low from not being perfect level ? You need that garage with concrete floor for oil spot checks..

@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying Год назад

Hi GP. The B2601 has the same dip stick as the LX. I made a video showing adding oil to the front axle. You may want to turn the wheels back and froth to get any air out that might be in the lines. Stay safe and warm my friend. Later

Hey thanks Mech! Hope you are keeping well

@WrongHandDrive Год назад

Thanks for the reminder Gord. I had heard about the axles not being topped up after being shipped from factory. I checked my LX2610 after 1 year of ownership and it was just touching the bottom of the dipstick as well. No leaks, or wet spots. Strange coincidence. Great LX2610 content. 🚜🚜

@justinkarst2012 Год назад

My 2501 took 4 qt to fill when after delivery

@retiredairforce5111 Год назад

Just checked mine on my L2501. Yep almost dry. Took over 4 quarts to fill. 😮

@williamangus8163 Год назад

The b2601 uses the same style of dip stick as the lx2610 and always has. The reason you were so low on oil is because they never checked the oil during PDI. If you had a leak anywhere you would know

@jackskidmore1164 Год назад

As with many comments here about air pockets, etc, I wanted to share my experience with my BX. The BX has only the orange dipstick, no vent tube. After a year or so of owning my BX (new from dealer) I came across a video about "BX Owners need to watch", so I did. Turns out when looking at the dipstick, the axle oil level says full, BUT...simply removing an air vent bold from the top of one of the final drive hubs, the oil had a chance to flow down into the final drives. I checked the dipstick again and there wasn't oil to be found anywhere. So I topped it up. Made me wonder if any oil was in the final drive for the first year and a bit of usage. Hopefully this helps BX owners out there. Keep up the great content GP. Always enjoy having a coffee on a Saturday morning watching your channel. I just need the GP mug to be complete. Christmas is coming...tell my wife. :) Cheers.

@stephenrhodesianridgeback7418 Год назад

It’s a common problem that can lead too very expensive failure down the road . When the bearing decides too collapse it takes out gear and housing also . There’s tractors out there right now slowly getting metal filing’s going down the final drive grinding away . Depending on the use of tractor and severity of use it’s only a matter of time before failure .

@d.a.ballou9740 Год назад

Always good information GP! 😁👨‍🚒

@GrampiesWorkshop Год назад

How's she goin'? Good points Gord. The front axle oil is notorious for leaking out through the seals and it's a very light oil in viscosity and color so it's hard to see, but the axle oil level will decrease over time and then you what happens. And it isn't good!! Take care!!

@09X19 Год назад

My '22 B2301 has the same/similar dipstick as that LX. Got the B2301 after watching your B2601 vid's...thanks for putting out the content.

@haroldanderson2781 Год назад

Two propane tanks in one property?? Gave me goosebumps just seeing that. I wanted to thank you for your video on the Thrunite TH-30 V-2 headlamp. Coming out of the deer woods last Tuesday my wife got to see the difference between cheap and awesome. She wants one for Christmas now!!

@GPOutdoors Год назад

LOL! Good evening Harold. It is there for backup - the trucks can't make it through the forest in the mid of winter. Thanks for watching and all the best!

@peacefieldfarm_mn Год назад

Nice explanation, GP! I have heard from others that often times the axle fluid is not full when the tractor is delivered to the first owner. I don't know why that is but I am going to go check the oil level on my B2601 now! Cheers!

@rbhillner Год назад

The green machines also require front-end and rear-end maintenance, going to get at mine tomorrow. PS. We have 4 inches of snow already.

@FromSteelToWood Год назад

I would not be concerned about a leak. I simply think the level was like that from the beginning. Let's also consider that being level for checking the front axle is very critical. Would you have only a 1/2" difference in level between the right and left wheels, then it would show a 1/4" difference on the dipstick. Also, nothing spins fast in there, so I am the least concerned about that missing oil! Thanks!

@davidmount7560 Год назад

Damn thanks I’m going out to check mine. Good stuff love the videos 👍

@BG-vq9fd Год назад

There is a lot of discussions on JD sights about the front axle needing a vent to prevent front axle seal leaks. I'm not buying it.

@DIYMyWay Год назад

Hi Gord! Thanks for the great tips! When I changed my front axle oil at 400 hours, I didn’t know what oil was used originally but I chose to use the Kubota UDT to refill it. It was simpler to have one less type of oil on hand for maintenance. Thanks for sharing!

@RCAFpolarexpress Год назад

OUTSTANDING INFORMATIVE VIDEO GP, INSPECTIONS ARE THE VITAL FACTOR Cheers

@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb2863 Год назад

If you haven't checked it until now it was low from the factory every one of us owners have ran across that for whatever reason it must be when it's ran for a while because they're always low.... even my l3301 was low

@larrykluckoutdoors8227 Год назад

More great info

@HuserHelpers Год назад

Most likely it was slightly low because when they filled it, some of the air hadn't worked its way out of the final drive gearboxes. A good process would be to fill it to the full line, then go drive it about for a little while. Then re-check it.

@GPOutdoors Год назад

Thanks Jason - makes sense. Cheers!

@josephkelly1237 Год назад

GP my B2301 has the exact same yellow axle plug, B2601 has one as well as far as I know.

@jimconnor8274 Год назад

Hello GP, I had rear end in a truck that would always be down a little. With no leaks. Finally an old times said they can burn or use oil just like an engine burns it. A worn bearing gear or spacer. May be the cause. You can chase those things until the cows come. Just check the oil level mmore often than the book says.

@GPOutdoors Год назад

Thanks Jim!

@earlzathome Год назад

While it is handier to only have to buy UDT, and they do recommend using it, it makes me wonder. The gear oil is much thicker than UDT. I have the same setup on my BX24. If you cut firewood in the winter, used UDT actually works well as bar oil....too thin to use in the summer but for winter it's perfect.

Shouldn’t you be using UDT 2 in your LX2610?? That’s what my manual states.

Mine too but the dealer said they are the same - they only sell the UDT there. Thanks!
