It didnt come with a new gasget....but i saved the old one. No biggy. Bought every filter. Waste. Upon further inspection, there were hours written on the ones on the machine. HYD fluid was 100 hours old and the fluid was factory clean. So i didnt change it. The engine had 75 hours on it so i said lets do it. Fuel was like 80 hours. Ive always used Premium Blue on all my cummins so i used it here as well. Only took me 30 minutes to figure out the drain issue!! (Little hose hidden up in there.) Filled it up with new antifreeze and crossed my fingers.......Fired right up.....and didnt leak......so i watched the gauge.....it went to the "O" in Normal........I thought so far so good.......so then i trammed around the yard. Still on "O". Then I checked for leaks.....no leaks.....and said screw it. Throttle on full and started pushing/digging/hauling like I stole it for 20 minutes........the gauge went to "R"..........I think ime good to go!!!! No white smoke, no antifreeze in the cylinders.......no boiling over.........on a side bar.....when i changed the oil...i forgot to move the drain tub and backed over it......monster mess.....and I didnt even throw anything!!....I was too happy my machine was running good!!!! Now my next thing is to fix the grumbling radiator fan.........Thanks fellas!!!!! Ray</p></blockquote><p></p>
