LUBRICATION & PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
71
FIG. 125: To Replace Engine Oil Filter-Remove the ele-
ment, 1, from the engine and discard. Make sure the
original filter gasket has been removed.
Lubricate the new gasket on the replacement element
with clean engine oil. Screw on the new element until
the gasket contacts the adapter and then tighten ele-
ment by further 2 / 3 turn.
Clean spilled oil and refill the crankcase. Start the en-
gine, check for leaks and replenish oil level as required.
Transmission Oil & Filters
Transmission oil lubricates the transmission, center
housing, and rear axles and also serves as hydraulic
fluid. Transmission oil should be changed and the filter
should be cleaned after the first 50 hours of operation
and then every 300 hours thereafter.
FIGS. 126 & 127: To Check Transmission Oil Level-Park
the tractor on level ground and remove the dipstick, 1.
Oil level should be indicated between the upper limit A
and the end of dipstick B.
Oil level is replenished, as necessary, by removing the
filler plug, 2, and adding oil through the filler opening.
NOTE: Adding oil to the transmission will also maintain
correct oil level in the center housing and rear
axles.
