Ok cool, I think we are going to go down to them this weekend. Labor Day. And we will get the filters and belts and try to start them up.

Ok so You put what oil in the engine and how much?
Same with the transmission, differentials,and transfer case. How much goes in them, and what kinda of fluid?
Also any special fluid to put in the steering box?
Any other fluids I should know about?

I recommend you review the the manuels. The Lube Order will tell you fluid and levels.

Ok so we went down today and were working on them. Changed a tire and drained the fuel. Replaced the filters put new fuel in them and no fuel was getting to the filters. Do I have to do something special to prime it like on a deuce? Does it have a fuel pump somewhere? Any help would be appreciated.

When you replace the fuel filters you need to fill the canister with fuel, as much as it will take before you put the can back on. It doesn't have an electric fuel pump, it has a mechanical pump and without fuel in the filter canisters it may never prime. You may also want to check the air filter to make sure some critters have not nested in there.

Thanks. I did check the air filter. We filled one of the canisters about half way full. Next time we go down and work on it we will fill both of them and i will read over the TM. Do you know where to get a replacement air filter? The one that is on it is ok, it will last for a while. Also one of out goats was at one point equipped with a cab heater.
