I'm thankful it didn't hit us, it would have ruined us since we don't have insurance on our place.īoth my 332 and 955 have Low Vis up in Michigan. I've never seen wire pushed out so far into fields, even after tornadoes. We drove down a gravel road that had miles of power poles snapped off and pushed way out into corn fields. Wind likes to play with barns with empty hay mows, more so than full barns it seems. Our neighbor wasn't so lucky, they lost the biggest 125 year old (at the time) barn in this county. Made a mess of the trees protecting the barn and in the wind break timber but all our buildings survived unscathed. We had one sweep across us from the north once. Houses got damaged more by flying debris/tree parts it appeared, but that's just the small amount we saw. Interestingly enough most of the houses we saw fared pretty good, just barns, pole buildings, and other outbuildings seemed to get the worst of the direct wind damage. Soybeans didn't look bad, that doesn't mean they weren't damaged though. Entire corn fields flatter than I've ever seen them in the 32 years I've lived in this state. From Vinton south about 20 miles (as far south as we went before it got dark) the damage just got worse at each farm on hwy 218. We went down to do a look-see (rubbernecking) late afternoon Wednesday. A bit of overkill in my book, but I understand where starting over would make you feel better.I am about 40 miles north of it's northern edge. So, you could mark these buckets and keep them around just for that. After using as a flushing agent then recycle it. I use that as a flushing oil when de-mucking something (put it in, drive around a bit, then drain again). Actually, I always put in used HyGard I keep from field tractors which still looks decent (500 hour changes). No need to worry about the tiny bit left. If you choose to re-do, then just draining and refilling would be good. I have seen some real muck come out of machines where pure, no additive, mineral oil would have been a ultra major improvement. This way you have only a slightly thin oil. Then fill it all up with regular viscosity and run with it. Since you have not run the machine it hasn't mixed yet. Save it for later, as you never know when you might want it. At this point, if it were me, I would drain 5 gallons of the low vis out of the left final and put it back in a low vis bucket. I don't think there will be anything other than it being a bit thin. Sorry, All new to this and fighting my way through this and wanted to do it right. Was the first dealer right and do not use the low-vis?ĭid I just spend a lot for a nice flush of the transmission and left steering clutch housing?Īm I just asking for trouble down the line using the low vis? I also see that all 3 share the same sump. I am concerned that now I only have the regular hygard left to fill the right steering clutch housing and to top of the remaining for both. I now have 5 gallons of the low vis in the transmission and 5 gallons low-vis in the left steering clutch housing. I specifically requested that they don't give me the low-vis stuff but somehow it slipped passed me. I purchased what they had left in stock but had to go to another dealer to get 2 more 5 gallon buckets. When speaking with one dealer in town, they said to use the regular hygard, not the low-viscosity. The manual calls for J20A or J14C in pretty much everything. I have a (new to me) 1981 450C and I am currently doing maintenance (Draining all of the fluids).
