I'm thinking that they decided later to go this route.Įither way a story to add to the topic for the readers. Upon getting information from the manufacturer Tuff Torq on my K62 Hydro. I wanted to stick with the factory specification but. Once contemplating if the tranny had to be replaced. He eventually changed to the 5W-50 and said it made the difference. I read about a person who owned an LX279 (water cooled) that lost power/speed in his transmission. Then I found others that got different advice from the manufacturer such as using 5W-50 Synthetic weight in my personal lawn tractor. Some owners insisted on JD oil which I have no problems with accepting since it's been tested and specified. The Low Viscosity HyGuard-JD20D is different. Traveller® Premium Universal Tractor Trans/Hydraulic Fluid meets JD20C specs, which is the regular HyGuard.

During the process of first finding how to do it and second finding which oil to use I got frustrated. I got the spec by going to KeepingItGreens (a sponsor here) website and poking in your model number and the list of items includes the Low Viscosity fluid. Also just got my Johnny Bucket in today so I am finally using the x485 to its potentialĭid you notice any difference? I just changed the oil on my LX280 for the first time. On a brighter note, after almost 4 years, I now have a cat 1 hitch with a few 3ph implements. And for the Harvard graduate who writes the owners manual, they should put the part number instead since j20d since it is not anywhere on the jug. The product number on the j20d jug is TY22000. So for you guys who are new to JD lawn tractors and have not yet learned the ropes, do not assume your local JD dealer knows what they are talking about. Can't change anything about the last 3+ years but I now actually have j20d. I run only fully synthetic oils as I believe the oil is the live of the engine. I have been running j20c for 3 1/2 years and it just burns me up. Low Viscosity HY-GARD TM - LOW VIS HY-GARD, 1 GAL,3.78L: Find parts & diagrams for your John Deere equipment.

If the manual is going to specify something, it should be clearly on the front of the jugs since both of my local JD dealers don't know anymore than a Walmart guy. No where on the front of the containers does it have j20c or j20d. started researching after I got it to be sure I got the correct thing. Bottom line is this, He gave me J20C, NOT j20d!!!! Just as the original dealer did. Today, i just went to another local JD dealer and requested j20d hydro fluid. Went there and asked for all the correct "stuff". I knew nothing about the x485 other than it seemed like an awesome lawn tractor. Went to the dealer where original owner purchased it and got all the filters, oil, and hydro fluid.

I bought my used X485 almost 4 years ago.

Do not use type 'F'automatic transmission fluid, J20D Low Viscosity Hy-Gard or Bio Hy-Gard. NOTE: Tractor is filled with John Deere Hy-Gard (J20C) transmission oil at the factory. Will try to make this short and to the point. The Z930A operators manual is pretty clear about the oil: Transmission and Hydraulic Oil.
