Changing Rear Axle Lubricant - Toro Reelmaster 6500-D Service Manual

Changing Rear Axle Lubricant

Rear axle lubricant should be changed every 800 hours
of operation. Rear axle lubricant should be SAE
85W-140 gear lube.
1. Position machine on a level surface.
2. Clean area around the check plugs, drain plugs, and
fill/vent plug (Fig. 3, 4, & 5).
3. Remove check plugs and fill/vent plug to allow easier
rear axle draining.
4. Remove drain plugs and allow axle lubricant to drain
into drain pans.
5. Reinstall all drain plugs after complete axle draining.
6. Slowly add lubricant through the fill/vent plug to bring
the lubricant level up to the bottom of the axle support
check plug hole (Fig. 4). As lubricant is added to fill/vent
plug, right and left gear cases will fill as well.
7. When lubricant level is correct, install all check plugs
and fill/vent plug.
