Front PTO (If Equipped)
Check Oil Level
DP96J305
To check the power takeoff oil level, put the
tractor on level ground.
Remove the fill/level plug (1) located on the front
of the housing. If the oil level is low, add the
recommended oil type to raise the oil level to the
bottom edge of the fill hole. Install the plug and
tighten.
NOTE: The front weight bracket has been
removed for photographic purposes.
Change Oil
To change the power takeoff oil, put the tractor on
level ground. Put a suitable container under the
drain plug and remove the drain plug (2) located
on the front of the housing and drain the oil.
For best results drain the oil after operation when
the oil is warm. Install the drain plug.
Add the recommended oil type through the fill/
level plug hole until the oil is level with the bottom
edge of the hole. Wait approximately 5 minutes.
Check the oil level again and add oil as
necessary. Install the fill/level plug.
IMPORTANT:
Dispose of oil in accordance with
local regulations. DO NOT DRAIN THE OIL ON
THE GROUND OR INTO A DRAIN. Be
responsible for the environment.
Drive Shaft Lubrication
Lubricate the sliding joint on the drive shaft of the
PTO, with two operations of the grease gun only.
