Happy 4th all. Have some questions I hope you'll can help me with.<br>
<br>
Bought this home yesterday:<br>

<br>
Looking for general suggestions of things to check, and
recommendations on oil (engine, transmission and hydraulic).<br>
<br>
So far, I have changed the oil, using 10w-20 oil to get it running
and home. I plan on switching to a diesel rated oil, what oil and
rating would you recommend? Manual calls for 10w in the winter, and
20w in the summer, but things have changed since then.<br>
<br>
While changing the engine oil filter, found that the lower and upper
plates are missing, I have replacements for them on the way.<br>
<br>
Ignition switch needs to be replaced (or repaired), it is not
supplying power to the coil, but otherwise is working. Generator is
charging the battery.<br>
<br>
Other than the ignition switch (and lights), and possibly the
temperature gauge for the engine, everything appears to be working.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
