Engine oil

Engine oil level
Check the engine oil level - flexible maintenance.
Check the oil level before starting work each day. If
the engine has been running, stop the engine and
allow the oil to drain back into the sump. Check the
oil level with the dipstick (Fig. 85).
If necessary, remove the oil filler cap and top up with
fresh oil of the correct grade. To raise the oil level
from minimum to maximum it requires 1,5 liter (2 US
pts). The oil level must be maintained between the
'MIN' and 'MAX' marks on the dipstick with the tractor
standing on level ground.
Changing the engine oil
Change the engine oil at first 50 hours, then 250
hours thereafter.
1. With the tractor standing on level ground, place a
drain pan beneath the engine sump, then remove
the engine sump plug (Fig. 86).
2. Allow the old engine oil to drain out completely.
3. Refit the drain plug and tighten securely
4. Change the engine oil filter.
5. Refill the sump with an approved oil, so that the
oil level is between the 'MIN' and 'MAX' marks on
the dipstick.
NOTE: Run the engine to circulate the oil and check
for leakage. Time must then be allowed for the oil to
settle in the sump before rechecking the level. Top
up if necessary.
Engine oil filter
Change the engine oil filter at first 50 hours, then
250 hours thereafter. The picture of the filter element
(Fig. 85) shows a typical installation with a horizontal
filter. On some tractors the filter is vertical. The change
procedure is identical.
1. Put a drain pan under the filter to retain spilled oil.
2. Remove the filter canister (Fig. 85) with a strap
wrench or similar tool. Ensure that the threaded
adaptor is secure in the filter head. Then discard the
canister.
3. Clean the filter head .
4. Smear a few drops of clean engine oil on the
sealing ring .
5. Fit the new canister and tighten by hand only. DO
NOT use a strap wrench.
6. To fill the oil filter with oil, ensure that there is oil
in the sump. Turn the engine over with the starter
motor until the oil pressure warning goes out.
NOTE: Run the engine to circulate the oil and check
for leakage. Time must then be allowed for the oil to
settle in the sump before rechecking the level. Top
up if necessary.
