[QUOTE="busted_knuckles, post: 15542, member: 888"] Ok, so Im servicing my newly purcheased 1999 Lx885 Skid Loader, putting a list together of filters and fluid, using the provided "Operators Manual". Im looking at the spec for the Hydrualic fluid, cant believe its telling me to use motor oil for the hyro and such. In some sort of fog, and disbelief, I figure I cant be the only one who read that for the first time and is left scratching their head?
