  • 2006 DF 225 issues

    I've got a pair of counter rotating df 225's with approx 800 hours on them.
    First, I'd like to say that they are fantastic and have had nothing but great luck with these motors.
    Around 400 hours I started noticing the counter rotating motor had darker gear oil then the other on the 100 hour change.
    Now at about 700 hours the last change...the oil seamed to be mettalic, not milky just worn looking while the regular motor seamed like new oil.
    The gear oil in both motors is the same and is changed every 100 hours.
    I was told by the dealer that the couter rotating leg has darker oil on a regular basis which I thought was odd.
    Should I be worried?......help???

    We also see the oil in counter black compared to std gearcase, there are more moving parts inside the counter gearcase. If it has metal on the drain screw magnet then thats a sign of a problem.

      Changed the gear oil out today and noticed slight water in the couter lower unit.
      Changed out the seals and water pump kits and all seems well.

        Hey richmake you should be worried. Mine dumped at around 800hrs. A new one is pricey too
