    1816 b uniloader

    Trying to get a few opinions. 1816B uniloader should use 10/40 oil for hydraulics is what they say. I changed it 5/30 thinking I might warm up faster when it is during the winter months. Didn't make that much diferents. Now I am wondering if I could have went with ATF and if I drained the tanks...

    1816 b uniloader

    I have an old bobcat 500 that I use to push snow around the yard with a much bigger bucket. The 1816 I want to use in the summer mostly like you said as a motorized wheelbarrow to move small amount of dirt around the dooryard to fill in little sink hole in the lawn and thing if that nature

    Thanks for the input Cory. Sounds like it will be a good idea you have for creeping, keeping some weight down on front wheels. Now if I can just get it quit take off like a jack rabbit and not knowing which direction it will be heading in it will be a great little machine. Thanks again.

    I think you have a good idea to experiment with #10 and 5/30. I will pour some of each in a pan at room temp and see how it pours and then leave it in the shed overnight so it is cold oil and see how each one pours cold. I might wait a day or two as it is 9 above right now and will be colder in...

    1816 b uniloader

    Well John the last we talked about oil and you were mentioning 10/30 I thought it over and decided you had a good point about using a grade lighter oil so as I was thinking about it I decided to go all the way down to 10 weight but when I went to the napa store to get the filter he thought I...

    1816 b uniloader

    I would also be temped to try ATF but I wonder how ATF would mix with the engine type oil that would be left in the lines and hydraulic motors. If I could find something on it or talk to some that could say if they mix or not I would be temped to try it !!

    1816 b uniloader

    Thanks John for you input on the hydraulic oil, was wondering what would happen if a guy was to put a lighter grade oil like 10/20 or something like that just for the winter months ?

    Thanks Cory for your info on the oil. So I will change oil and filter and play a little more. I also have an old bob cat 500 that I had pick up that needs work. Well I know you will say why didn't I buy something decent to use a little instead of a couple old ones, but here's the thing. I am 71...

    To Pete 23,Vic,Heat house and everybody that jumped in and gave me some great help with the 706--263 engine not oiling the rocker arm and tappets..
