January 11, 2019 at 7:25 pm Hello All, Can anyone tell me if this 2006 5KW generator has a replaceable zinc? Can’t find any obvious sign of one. Thanks.

December 29, 2016 at 6:52 pm Hello all! Great forum you have here. Thought I’d ask if there was any tricks to changing the fluid in my ZF gear box. This is my first time. My understanding is: Warm up first, remove filter cover and filter, suck out old fluid through dip stick hole. Clean filter screen and replace same amount of fluid extracted with new Dextron III ATF. Check levels after brief run Here are some pics of my engine room and running gauge readings on the s…
