Kubota 724kh transaxle oil

[02s4audi]

Hello all, I’m looking for recommendations for transaxle oil for my 2014 kubota zero turn. The manual states that they’re Parker torqpact gt14 transaxle. I can’t find any direct manual for the transaxle but kubota’s mower manual states to use 1 of the 3 options:

1. Castrol 5w50
2. Valvoline premium blue extreme 5w40
3. Kubota 5w40

What would you recommend for this application?

Flip a coin. Any of those will work fine.

Wow, very difficult to google search that transmission. Be equally cautious to use the correct filter.

Is the recommended OIL,1 GAL 5w40 Part # 70000-40301 5W-40 HST OIL the same as engine oil?

Sounds like it's not picky.

I'd pick something that is readily available. Since it's a ZTR, you should be fine using 15w50 which opens up Mobil 1 as readily available.

I'd probably pick up filters from the dealer unless you can adequately cross it over. On Hydro gear transaxles, the filters are pricey but it's only needed every 400hrs.


Edit:

Using Gemini, I found a different naming convention for the transaxle. It looks correct for a zero turn

Go down to related documents, bunch of information plus videos

There's even a Parker service kit.

My Wright Stander has Parker pumps and it calls for Mobil 1 15w-50 by name.

I would imagine the difference is age. Is yours newer than my 2014?

Yeah hard to say. I’ll have to talk with the dealer I guess.

No, it is a 2000 model.
