Greeting I just bought a B2400 with the loader and the belly mower. I have some questions as I get started on the machine. I want to use it to fairly heavily landscape my very small acreage, and plow my driveway in the winter.
1. Manuals - It looks like there is a workshop manual that is pretty freely available but I'm not sure if there is an operators manual or a manual for the loader and implements. If there are are they free anywhere or do I need to buy them?
2. I'm not quite sure what is the proper way to hook up the loader's hydraulics. The loader has four hose coming out of 3 females and one male. The male is pretty easy and I have the females hooked up so that the bucket goes up when I push up on the joystick and goes down when I lower the joystick. It curls the bucket when I move the joystick left and right. So I assume its close but want to make sure I'm not screwing something up.
3. It leaks a fair amount of fluid around the loader hookup valve I think from one of the hookup ports. Not sure if I can try to tighten the port or any other possible solutions? Maybe a rebuild kit? I just don't know a ton about hydraulics but obviously need to learn.
4. Looks like the hydraulic fluid is supposed to be Kubota UDT which Walmart tractor fluid is supposed to meet the specs for. Is it ok to use?
5. What PM should I try to get done shortly? Oil Change with filters, Hydro Fluid Change with filters, Coolant Flush and Fill, Fuel Filters, Grease all zerks anything else?
