Control Linkage Lubrication

Every 25 hours of operation put a drop of engine oil on the pivots of the throttle lever, the direction control lever, the gear shift lever, the PTO control, and range shift handle.

Battery Service

The tractor is equipped with a low maintenance battery. Check the fluid level every 200 hours or at the end of the year (Figure 2). Keep the battery clean. If acid is on the outside of the battery or the electrical connections are corroded, clean the outside of the battery with a water and baking soda solution. Anytime the battery cables are to be disconnected, remove the negative (-) (ground) cable first. When replacing the battery cable connect the positive (+) cable first. Anytime the battery cables are disconnected, the cable clamps and the battery post or connection should be cleaned until shiny. There are brushes make to clean the clamps and battery posts.

Fastener Check

Check all fasteners after 25 hours of operation to make sure that they are tight. Replace any fastener that is missing.

General Lubrication

There are seven grease fittings to be greased at 25- hour intervals. Clean the fittings before attaching the grease gun. Use a high quality lithium base grease. Add grease until it appears at the ends of the bearings. The locations of the seven fittings are:

•On the direction control pedal.

•On the front axle at each king pin.

•On the front axle (Figure 3).

•On the steering mechanism (Figure 4).

Apply motor oil to all pin connections, pivot points and areas where sliding occurs in the clutch, transmission, PTO, and lift control systems every 25 hours.
