Hi Everyone,

Been using the Land pride SB1574 snowblower behind my Kaboda L3560 to remove snow on a 1/2 mile road.Checked the gear box lube and it needed about a pint. After I added the lube, I noticed that it had turned yellowish-white and was no longer green. Used 80-90W EP Gear Lube.

Any concerns here with the yellowish-white color or the amount added? Used it about 10 times.

Thank you,

Bert

You have entrained moisture in the lube, which is common with snow blower gerboxes. Think I'd just drain t and replace the lube entirely.... and do it every year as a maintenance routine.
