[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 23849, member: 307"] We grease every 8 to 10 hours or everytime the loader comes back from rent. Often only 2 to 4 hours. Sometimes the machines look a bit messy for it, but I'd rather clean it from time to time then ever hear a squeak. If I do I stop and grease right there. Oil changes are done one 200 hour intervals. (some of the early Kubotas engines were only 100 hours) I believe in changing hyd oil and filters but tend to follow the mfgs recommended 1000 hour interval unless there is some reason to change it early. Watch for water contamination in your hyd and chain case oil,, if it gets milky looking get it out of there and find out how it got that way in the first place. Blow out your oil cooler and rad periodically, epecially the old machines with the engine is normal, (not sideways) the air comes up from the bottom side and the rad looks clean on top, but the oil cooler underneath is all plugged up. I've had the belts come loose for the pumps and 1 tension idler fail, so I tend to check those when I change oil. Also the tension for the fan stick and the belt slip from being loose. Ken [/QUOTE]
