Kubota Excavator 121-3 Final Drive Oil Chage

[@eri6471]

Before posting a video make sure you know what your doing. That means remove the center bolt witch is the correct way.

[@Carrotrentals]

You are right. I'll delete the video.

[@JohnFrancoNH]

Great video. Changing the final drive oil on my KX121-3 very soon. Thanks for sharing!

[@Carrotrentals]

Thanks John. When you do the refill only add oil to the center bolt. The oil level is supposed to be half way up the final drive.

[@simeonwilliams5019]

Too much oil

[@jameswilloughby4491]

One plug should be at 12.00oclock the other at 3.00 o'clock.

[@andrewslagle1974]

one of the most overlooked service item, the final drive lube. change the lube at least once a year. cheep insurance finals are expensive change it often.

[@kiendiep]

Very good

[@willpruitt2112]

Will that drive work on a u55-4

[@newzealandearthmover4008]

arent u ment to take the centre bolt out for the full level? top one to fill middle for full

[@Carrotrentals]

I did the fluid change as per the manual. Not sure what the middle cap screw is there for. Never touched that one.

[@kermets]

Centre bolt its there as your oil level

[@Carrotrentals]

So should the final drive oil only be filled to the center bolt?

[@kermets]

yes from what the manual says with SAE-90 oil....check out the tb15 manual bit.ly/2AER5uH

[@Carrotrentals]

Thank you sir. I stand corrected...fill to center bolt.

[@tigersx41]

What size bit did yours take? I’ve got a kx057-4. Needing to change mine but it’s in the middle of no where and and I’d rather not take a load of tools. Thanks

[@Carrotrentals]

It was a 19mm socket for the U35. I’d bring that one plus a 21mm

[@Carrotrentals]

this machine used a 5.5 key

[@ResidentialDirtWork]

5/16 hex for my 2018 KX057-4
