Tranny Flush Question

Postby Stanton » Thu Nov 14, 2013 7:46 am

This applies to my H, but could be relevant to any Cub.

We often read/hear to drain out the old tranny case then flush with kerosene. Would old gasoline be a suitable substitute for kerosene? Other than the service manual's direction, is there any reason not to use old gas?

Reason for question: I have plenty of old gas on hand and very little kerosene left.

Thanks.

I think that safety would be my biggest concern. I also think that gasoline would be much more harmful to oil seals. I know kerosene has gotten pretty expensive, maybe diesel fuel would be a bit less expensive.

Off road diesel would be my choice. My F-12 transmission and steering gear has been full now for almost two weeks.

H transmission capacity is 24 quarts (6 gallons). they will hold more, but that is what they are supposed to have in them.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!
