I am planning on going to get my forty-five road grader this weekend, and I think I want to change the oil and filter in it before I try to start it up. Since it is 150 miles away, I can't look at it to see what it has for oil filters, so could someone help me out there? It has the 516 buda/ AC engine in it. Does it take one filter/2 filters? Are they spin on or canister, and what is the filter (or filters) numbers. And how much oil should it take, and would cenex 15-40 super lube be an acceptable oil? Thanks, Darrel

Darrel,

From my service manual

3.5 gal SAE 30

Single element

Allis Filter #4371021 - seems to be readily available here

I'll add some bearing translations some other time from our experience.

Have fun!

forgot to ask; is the electrical system 12 volt or 24? Thanks, Darrel

Darrel,

24 volt. If you've still got the generator on, it looks like (from the wiring diagram I have) that it is positive earth. Might pay to check.

I've gone to a Bosch alternator and am using negative earth.

I got my road grader home yesterday, but unfortunately I was unable to get it running. The engine seems to be stuck. Could be something serious, or minor. The guy that I bought it from had dumped diesel fuel down the exhaust to "keep it from seizing up", and we think maybe there is a cylinder or two full of diesel locking it up. Will keep working on it. Darrel

I am't sure but you need to removed the injector and refill with diesel not in exhaust
