What's the gear oil capacity of this gearbox? The manual says 4 1/2 pints but that seem like a lot especially because the RCR1872 only takes 4 pints. When I changed it last time I think it took about 1/2 of that before it came out of the peep hole on the side.
The book does not give you how often to change it so I decided to change out the oil at 500 hours on the tractor which is about 250-300 hours on the cutter. I had changed it previously after about 50 hours which I figured was break-in. How often do you guys change your gear oil?
I used Valvoline High Performance 80w-90 last time cause its what I had laying around (and I still have some left). Is that OK to use again or should I change to something else?
