Cub Cadet 6284 manual Regularly Scheduled Oil Filter Changes, Check Front Axle Oil

Page 36

NOTE: A large volume of oil may drain from the transmission while performing the 25 hour change of the oil filters. If collected in a clean container and kept free of debris, this oil may be reused in the transmission/hydraulic system.

Perform the INITIAL change of the transmission and hydraulic system oil filters as follows:

•Remove any belly mounted attachments.

•Clean the areas around the hydrostatic trans- mission and hydraulic system oil filters. Refer to Figure 45.

•Position a CLEAN, suitable container below the hydrostatic transmission filter. See Figure 45.

•Apply a light coating of clean transmission oil to the gasket of the new hydrostatic filter.

•Remove the old hydrostatic filter by turning it counterclockwise, and immediately replace with the new filter. Turn the filter clockwise, by hand, until the gasket contacts the filter base on the transmission housing; then tighten the filter an additional 3/4 turn.

•Position the collection container below the hydraulic system filter. See Figure 45.

•Apply a light coating of clean transmission oil to the gasket of the new hydraulic system filter.

•Remove the old hydraulic system filter by turn- ing it counterclockwise, and immediately re- place with the new filter. Turn the filter clock- wise, by hand, until the gasket contacts the filter base on the transmission housing; then tighten the filter an additional 3/4 turn.

•Clean the area around the transmission oil fill plug/dipstick to prevent debris from entering the transmission (Refer to Figure 44) and remove the plug.

•Following the instructions previously provided in CHANGING TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL, refill the transmission with the clean salvaged oil or with new hydraulic oil.

•Reinsert the oil fill plug/dipstick into the trans- mission housing and turn clockwise until tight.

•Start the engine and allow it to run for a few minutes. Shut the engine off, then check for leaks and recheck the oil level in the transmis- sion housing.

NOTE: If a front end loader, or a loader and back- hoe, are installed on the tractor after the first 25 hours of operation, it is recommended that the fil- ters again be changed after the first 25 hours of operation with these attachments installed.

Regularly Scheduled Oil Filter Changes

Change the hydrostatic transmission and hydraulic system oil filters along with the hydrostatic trans- mission/hydraulic system oil after every 200 hours of operation. Refer to the previous sub-section

CHANGING TRANSMISSION / HYDRAULIC SYS- TEM OIL and follow the instructions for changing the oil and filters.

CHECKING OIL LEVEL IN FRONT AXLE AND FINAL REDUCTION GEAR CASES.

Check the front axle and final reduction gear case oil levels after every 50 hours of operation. Check the oil level only while the engine is stopped and the tractor is standing on a level surface.

Check Front Axle Oil

The oil fill plug/dipstick is located on the left side of the axle housing. See Figure 46.

•Clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick to prevent debris from entering the axle housing. See Figure 46.

•Turn the oil fill plug/dipstick counterclockwise to unscrew from the axle housing.

•Withdraw the dipstick and wipe it clean, then reinsert and screw in all the way. Unscrew and withdraw again to read the oil level. Always keep the oil level between the bottom and the full mark of the dipstick (See Figure 46).

•If the oil level is low, add only enough Cub Cadet Gear Lube to bring the level to the full mark on the dipstick. NEVER overfill the axle housing.

•Reinsert the fill plug/dipstick into the axle housing and turn clockwise to fully tighten.
