I also use Shell Rotella 5w-40 in my Cub 7265 but only in the winter months. During the summer when it's very warm I just switch to the Shell Rotella 15w-40. The Rotella 5-40 is synthetic and the 15-40 is not. I haven't figured out why one oil is synthetic and the other is not. I guess that's the way it is so I just live with it.

I had the hydro creep issue addressed the same time as the glow plug problem. The dealer adjusted a device under the speed pedal that looks like a shock absorber. It has a rod running through it and I guess it recenters the hydro pedal when you stop. This must have needed adjusting because after the CC service dep. played with it I have no more hydro creep. The tractor is much nicer to operate now that this has been adjusted. I'm a happy camper now!

I forgot to ask if the glow plugs were the same as the ones replaced last year. Maybe they had a bunch of these left in inventory and pawned them off on me again! I will check today and find out about this. The CC dealership did say that the glow plugs didn't look abnormal but two were completely dead when he tested them. If I have this problem again next year I sure don't expect to pay for the glow plugs. I will change them myself it the dealer gives me new ones. It doesn't look like a hard job. In fact it's kind of like changing sparkplugs. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I have a question concerning my 638 loader on my CC 7265. What is the bolt for that is located on the valve assembly just to the bottom of the valve handle rod? It looks like an adjusting bolt with a lock nut. I looked in my owners manual for this loader and it doesn't mention a thing about this bolt. Can anybody tell me what this bolt is for and thanks.

I asked a Cub dealer for the part numbers for all of the filters my 7265 has. I then went to NAPA and they can't cross reference any of the part numbers. This means that Wix doesn't make a filter yet for this tractor or they haven't tried to see if what they have will fit. The NAPA dealer did say that if I brought in the air filter he is sure they will have something similar that will fit. At $81.00 for an air filter I think I will look into this! Darn, I can't believe that Mitsubishi is the only one to make filters for this tractor.

Art,

Hi and thanks for the reply. I don't know how I could use the glow plugs longer than the proper amount of time though the thought has crossed my mind. On my 7265 the first position to the right on the ignition switch heats the glow plugs. When the yellow indicator light on the control panel goes out after aprox 5 seconds I turn the ignition switch to the start position. This is all there is to it and she fires up if the glow plugs are working like they should. I'm so stranger to diesel tractors. My Kubota is 10 yrs old and I have never had a problem with its glow plugs. In warm weather I may only have to glow plug the engine once unless I leave the tractor sit all day long from its first use of the day. I hope it was just a bad batch of glow plugs. Maybe they were manufactured out of the wrong type of material or something, I don't know, thanks.

I just purchased a new 7265 with the latest FEL model 638 and a 72" Woods mower for $17100 OTD. My dealer tells me that with this new FEL the controler stays on permanently even when the FEL is removed.
