You cannot replace a Jdlt120 with a hydro drive out of a JD lx288 because they are not compatible.
how do i check the hydro transmisson fluid on a stx38
I have a 70's Wheel Horse with hydro and it takes 10w-30 motor oil.
Hydro means 'fluid' and Hydro-electric means electricity derived from devices driven by fluid. IE a hydro-electric power plant uses the power of water channeled from a dam to drive water turbines which in turn drive the generators that produce the electricity.
Some animals have that a hydrostatic skeleton include jellyfish and earthworms. Additional examples include sea urchins and starfish. As a result of their flexibility, hydrostatic skeletons are particularly useful for locomotion.
Hydrotest is a pressure testing option where a liquid (usually water) is injected into a pipe system to check for structural flaws permitting leakage at normal pressure. Whereas, hydrostatic testing allows the detection of leaks that only become obvious at elevated operating pressures.
Animals that have a hydro-static skeleton have a fluid filled body cavity and a muscular body wall. This skeleton has no hard parts but a animal can squeeze the fluid from one area of the body to another under pressure to give him support.
I had the same problem When I bought my mower I put premium hydraulic oil in it. It would move until it warmed up. then would slip. I thought I was going to have to buy a new drive. I finally got in touch with an engineer at Eaton Hydrostatic, the place that makes the hydro units, and he asked me what oil I was using. I told him premium hydraulic oil. He said "No wonder. You need to use 30 weight motor oil." I haven't had any trouble since. My mower is a 4211 Hydro, with an Eaton Model 6 Hydro unit that is attached to a peerless drive unit. So if your unit is an Eaton Model 6 or 7, use 30 weight motor oil in it.
According to the Simplicity manual for models 7018, 7117, and 7119, hydrostatic transmission and tractor hydraulic systems use fluid from gear transmission (reduction gear) case. Dexron automatic transmission fluid (or equivalent) is recommended. Fluid capacity is 3 quarts (2.8L) and should be checked every 25 hrs of operation. Fluid and filter should be changed at 400 hr intervals.
Hydro means water or fluid. Hydraulics uses fluid compression to do its' work.
Probably your radiator fluid leaking out.
Hydro means fluid power and in this case that fluid is flowing water, usually a dam. el is electric So, hydro electric power or hydroelpower is electricity generated using flowing water from a dam.
