Maintenance and Adjustment

Transmission and hydraulics

Oil level
Check the transmission and hydraulic oil level every
100 hours.
The oil level (Fig. 104) must be maintained between
the 'MAX' and 'MIN' marks on the dipstick for normal
use. When using auxiliary hydraulics with implements
which require a large quantity of oil or when working
on hillsides or sloping land, ensure that the
transmission oil level is maintained at the 'MAX' mark
on the dipstick.
To check the oil level:
1. Move the tractor onto level ground.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Pull out or unscrew the dipstick and check the oil
level.
4. If necessary, remove the filler plug and add oil to
the correct level (Fig. 104).
Transmission/hydraulic oil
Change the transmission/hydraulic oil every 1000
hours.
1. Move the tractor to level ground.
2. Place a suitable container beneath each drain
plug.
3. Remove the two drain plugs (Fig. 105).
NOTE: When an optional creeper gearbox is fitted
there is an additional drain plug under the creeper
housing which must also be drained.
4. Place the hydraulic control lever(s) in the fully
'DOWN' position.
5. Remove, clean and refit the oil strainer.
6. Refit the drain plugs. Then refill the system through
the transmission oil filler (Fig. 106) to the required
level, with an approved oil.
7. After allowing time for the oil to settle, check the
level of the oil, then, if necessary, add further oil and
refit the filler plug.
