CHECKING TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL

^ The hydrostatic transmission, differential and hydraulic lift

system all operate from a common oil reservoir. Note that the

rear axle is the oil reservoir. The oil level in the resdrvoir should

be checked every 25 hours of operation or monthly.

CAUTION: PROPER OIL LEVEL IS ESSENTIAL FOR PROPER

OPERATION AND PROTECTION AGAINST SEVERE DAMAGE TO

THE TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS DYNAMIC BRAKING.

Use the following procedure to check the transmission oil level:

1. Drive tractor onto level ground.

2. Move Hydraulic Lift Control Lever to the “UP” position

until the lift cylinder is fully extended.

3. Move Hydrostatic Control Lever to “PARK/START”, keep

engine at fast idle.

4. Wipe dirt from around the oil level and filler plug. See

Figure 7.

5. Remove plug. OH level should be to the top of the pipe

elbow at the filler plug with engine running at fast idle. See

Figure 11.

6. If necessary, use a small funnel to add sufficient SAE

5W-30 SE classification motor oil (or, in heavy use condi

tions such as plowing or tilling above 80°F ambient

temperatures use SAE 30) to bring the oil up to the proper

level. Replace plug.

Be very careful to prevent dirt and foreign materials from enter

ing the oil reservoir wheh checking or adding oil.

CHANGING TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER

The filter should be changed every 500 hours or seasonally,

whichever comes first. It is not necessary to change the

transmission oil.

Use the following procedure to change the transmission oil filter.

1. Drive the tractor onto level ground. Place a container under

the filter to catch oil spillage as filter is removed.

2. Unscrew and discard oil filter. Use an oil filter removal tool

if necesary.

3. Moisten the rubber gasket with oil and install the filter.

4. Start engine and cycle the hydraulic lift until it operates

smoothly. This bleeds the air out of the transmission.

Check for leaks.

5. Move Hydrostatic Control Lever to “PARK/START”, keep

ing engine at fast idle.

6. Wipe dirt from around the oil level and filler plug. See

Figure 7. Remove plug.

7. Add sufficient SAE 5W-30 motor oil so that the oil fills the

elbow. Install the filler plug.

Be very careful to prevent dirt and foreign materials from enter

ing the reservoir or oil filter when changing the oil and filter.

Be sure breather Is not clogged. Wipe clean with a rag and sol

vent. See Figure 11.

GREASING STEERING SYSTEM

Under normal conditions the steering system should be

lubricated every 50 hours of operation or quarterly whichever oc

curs first. The following list of grease fittings are identified in

Figure 12. WIPE EACH FITTING CLEAN BEFORE AND AFTER

LUBRICATION. Use a good grade of general purpose grease

such as Ariens Multi-Purpose grease (Part No. 150).

Rotate steering wheel clockwise until the spindle arm contacts

the axle stop and fill gearbox until grease is forced out around

the cam follower adjustng screw.
