Cross reference hydraulic fluid for

[poster]

Grasshopper 928D.
Some guys use AW68 standard fluid but others say you should use
a higher grade. Im trying to find out the type that Grasshopper
uses in the 928D mower?
If I had the number I could cross reference it to mobile product
or some other.
Anyone know this information?
I need it badly!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hey I emailed grasshopper and this was their response.

<b>AW 68 is not an acceptable fluid for these drives. It is a general duty
hydraulic fluid and not to the standards of the drives in your 928D. The
proper OEM fluid is the Grasshopper fluid, part #345050 for a quart and
#345055 for the gallon. Filter and oil change interval is 1,000 hours
unless it is severe duty or with a grasscatcher in which case we recommend a
500 hours service interval.

I found this on another site:

<font color="blue">The oil you can use in your G2 transmission instead of Grasshopper oil is Mobil DTE-18M. This is what the Grasshopper factory rep. said to use. In fact, my Grasshopper dealer keeps it on the shelf next to the Grasshopper oil.

Mobile oil that I was told to use is DTE26.
From what I understand, that oil is good for use in the Gemini trans., but not the newer G2 trans.</font id="blue">
