Hello, my friend inherited a few machines when she bought a house and she wants me to maintain them. She has no owners manual on the machines so I would like to know what type of oil (s), filters and the frequency of maintenance or a maintenance schedule would be great.
Here are the numbers she pulled off the machines...
New Holland 7308 tractor and
Yard-Man T604G riding mower
Thanks so much for your help and may God bless,
Peter

what brand engine? usually mowers all call for straight hd30 weight. but a good 10w-30 synthetic would do as well, since 30 weight is for warm weather.

yard-man? http://manuals.mtdproducts.com/mtd/public/list.jsp

the new holland website gives nothing. maybe someone else will know more.

Knowing what make and model of engines are in each will be necessary to help you out further. I won't likely know what the New Holland will take but I can help on the Yard-Man. Any New Holland dealers in your local calling area you can check with? Unless, of course, it has a Briggs, Tecumseh, or Kohler engine, in which case I can advise on these.
