Main Fuse
The main fuse in the tractor wire harness protects
the tractor's entire electrical system. A blown main
fuse will prevent battery current from passing
though the harness.
To replace the main fuse:
• Raise the tractor hood and remove the right
side panel.
• Locate the main fuse under the dash panel,
along the tractor's right frame rail. See Figure 40.
Figure 40
• Pull the fuse from the fuse holder and replace
with the same capacity fuse (30 Amp). NEVER
use a higher amperage fuse.
• Install the side panel and lower the tractor
hood.
Hazard Light Flasher Relay
The flasher relay controls the on/off flashing of the
hazard lights. If the hazard lights do not function
properly, the flasher relay is probably faulty.
Replace the relay as follows:
• Remove the dash panel insert by removing the
two screws. Refer to Figure 38.
• Pull the wire harness from the dash opening.
Cut and remove the electrical tape holding the
flasher relay to the harness. See Figure 41
• After first noting the position of the two harness
leads, disconnect the leads and replace the
faulty relay with a new relay.
• Secure the relay to the wire harness with
electrical tape.
• Position the wire harness in the dash panel and
reinstall the dash panel insert.

CHECKING TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM OIL LEVEL
Check the hydro transmission/hydraulic system oil
level after every 50 hours of operation. Check the
oil level only while the engine is stopped and the
tractor is standing on a level surface.
The oil fill plug/dipstick is located at the rear of the
tractor, above the rear PTO shield. See Figure 42.
• Clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick to
prevent debris from entering the transmission
housing. See Figure 42.
• Turn the oil fill plug/dipstick counterclockwise to
unscrew from the transmission housing.
• Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it clean, then
reinsert and screw in all the way. Unscrew and
withdraw again to read the oil level. Always
keep the oil level between the add and full marks
on the dipstick (See Figure 42).
