CJ-4 has been long superseded by CK-4 oils to the point where I’m not aware of any strictly CJ-4 options? Kubota makes it needlessly complicated in the manual, but you can run essentially any off the shelf HDDEO in the appropriate viscosity. Happy hunting.

Let’s think logically here. -The fluid level is good with the backhoe on -When the backhoe is removed, no tangible level of fluid is gained or lost -ergo, the fluid level is fine

Cummins would disagree with that old wives tale, considering all their 6.7’s roll off the line full of Valvoline Premium Blue 5w-40 full synthetic.

I’m begging you, please don’t speak that into the universe. The world is far too inundated with gambling advertisements as it is. Let me have my tractor autism in peace.

You have precisely zero evidence for this claim.

I’ve heard good things about VP C-16.

I think my wife has that stuff in pill bottles in the bathroom. I’m gonna crush some up and go add it to my tractor and 6.7 right now. Seems like a foolproof idea to make better oil! 🫠

Clutch parts? In all seriousness, start tracing the clutch linkage, and look to see if everything is in order. We aren’t gonna be able to diagnose what you have going on with the information provided.

Smooth dipsticks just piss me off in general. I had to drill fluid retention holes in the trans dipstick on my 68RFE to easier see the fluid levels, and I’ve got 20/10 vision 😂
