TRANSMISSION, REAR AXLE, AND
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Checking the Transmission, Rear Axle, and
Hydraulic System Oil Level
NOTE: Check the transmission, rear axle, and
hydraulic system oil level after every 50 hours of
operation.
1. With the engine off and the tractor standing
level, check the oil level using the dipstick (1)
in Figure 3-16.
2. The oil is at the correct level when it reads
between the two marks on the dipstick. If the
level is low, remove the filler plug (2) in Figure
3-16, and add new oil of the type specified,
page 3-5, through the filler hole. Do not fill
above the dipstick full mark.
3. Reinstall the filler plug and dipstick.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL FILTER

NOTE: Replace the hydraulic system oil filter
after the first 50 hours of operation, and then
following every 300 hours of operation thereafter.
The hydraulic system uses a spin-on type oil filter.
To replace the filter (1) in Figure 3-17:
1. Unscrew the used oil filter and discard.
2. Coat the gasket on the new filter with a film of
clean oil. Screw the filter into place until the
gasket contacts the sealing surface, then
tighten the filter by hand approximately
three-quarters of a turn. Do not over-tighten.
3. Start the engine and check the filter for leaks.
4. Stop the engine and check the hydraulic
system oil level. Add oil if necessary.
CAUTION
Transmission oil and filters could be hot, use
caution during draining or replacing.
