Hello, I do have a Robot 170 from JCB, and I dont know if I have to changue the oil inside the chain differentials (or wahtever is called ). I read at the owners manual that is Envigne Oil that uses this (15w40). The owner manual don't talk about hours intervals of change. Also theres a small hole in the floor right where is the accelerator, that sometimes get out dirty oil (I think with water), I dont know if this very very small hole is on it for this porpouse or if have to clos the hole. The skid steer is 870hours.
please heeelp!
Never been around a jcb shid steer but it sounds like the hole could be a vent to keep from pressurizing the case. If you suspect water is mixed with the oil i would change it now and observe the oil that drains for water. Have you run it in water at all?
Yes, we've been running in water. I read the operators manual and the oil in there is engine oil 15w40. I think i should change it.
