LUBRICATION DETAILS
Grease Fittings
Lubricate all grease fittings (refer to fig. 79) every 50
hours of operation using multipurpose lithium base
grease. Clean grease gun and fittings before and after
greasing to prevent contamination from dirt.
NOTE: When operating in muddy or extremely wet condi-
tions, daily lubrication of fittings is recommended.
Engine Oil Filter
Engine oil and filter should be changed after first 50
hours of operation and then every 100 hours thereafter.
FIG. 58: To Check Engine Oil Level - Tractor must be
parked on level ground with engine off. Pull out dipstick,
1, and check that oil level is between upper limit, F, and
lower limit, L, on dipstick. Wipe off dip-stick, momentarily
reinstall in engine and check oil level again.
Add oil through filler opening, 2, as required.
NOTE: Add oil slowly to assist in venting air from crank-
case.
FIG. 59: To Change Engine Oil - Operate Tractor until oil
is adequately warmed. Remove drain plug, 1, from engine
and allow all oil to drain. Reinstall drain plug and fill
engine crankcase to upper limit on dipstick.
To Replace Engine Oil Filter - Unscrew element, 2, from
engine and discard. Make sure original filter gasket has
been removed. Lubricate new gasket on replacement ele-
ment with clean engine oil. Screw on new element until
gasket contacts adapter and then tighten element 1/2 turn
more.
Clean spilled oil and refill crankcase. Start engine, check
for leaks and replenish oil level as required.
