Title: Hydraulic oil for zero turn mower
Post by: acrosteve on May 13, 2016, 09:29:32 PM

Maybe someone can help me out here. I just got a new zero turn mower which has Parker hydro "transmissions". The book says to use "Parker HT-1000 oil"

Well, I can't seem to turn up very much on it.

Just got it last Friday and my salesman was on jury duty this week, so I couldn't ask him.

Thanks

You can order it direct from Parker
This oil came out in 2015. Rated to be a very good oil.

I must need someone to hold my hand.

"order direct from Parker" you mean online?

I search for ht-1000 oil on their very own website and turn up nothing close.

A google search turns up a Parker web page for the transmissions, where the oil is vaguely mentioned, but where can I buy it?

Finally talked to my dealer/rep and he says oil is only available in gallons, which he is getting from his supplier in the next few days. He is going to sell quarts from that.

BTW, the mower is a Spartan - check it out.
