4.15 Front Drive Oil Level Maintenance

When checking the front drive oil level, the oil
dipstick (A) should be unscrewed and the oil level
should fall within the scale range on the dipstick,
Otherwise, oil needs to be added. The left and right
final drives also have fill ports where the oil level can
be checked.
When replacing the front drive oil, unscrew the main
drive drain plug (B) and the final drive drain plugs on
the left and right (not shown). Discharge all of the
dirty oil, retighten the plugs and add new oil at (A) to
the "Full" mark on the dipstick. Also add new oil to
the left and right final drives through their respective
fill ports at the top of each drive.

4.16 Transmission Oil Level Maintenance

Remove the oil dipstick (3), which is located at the
right-back side of the transmission box (as shown in
Figure 4-18). Wipe it, and then reinsert the oil dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the lower scale mark of
the oil dipstick when pulled back out, transmission oil
should be added so that the oil level is located between
the upper and lower scale marks of the dipstick. A new
measurement should be taken 5 minutes after the oil is
added. To replace the lubricating oil, remove the oil
drain plug from the bottom of the transmission box to
drain out the dirty oil into a drip pan. Then, tighten the
oil drain plug and add new oil.
NOTE:
When checking the oil level, the tractor should be parked on level ground, and the engine should be
shut down.
