Regular Maintenance

Transmission Identification

Several service procedures within this book are identified by, and vary by, transmission type. To determine what transmission is in your tractor, check the identification tag attached to the axle of the transmission (Figure 29), or check your tractor’s parts book.

Transmission Maintenance

Do not allow dirt, water, or other debris to enter the expansion chamber or transmission. Even a small amount of dirt can damage the transmission

K57 Maintenance

The K57 is a sealed unit and does not require regular maintenance. If the transmission lacks drive or is excessive noisy, it may need to be purged. See your Dealer for this procedure.
