Lubrication and Maintenance (Continued)

Checking the Fasteners

Every 25 hours, or any time looseness of parts, rattles, or excess noise and vibration are noted, check all fasteners. Look for loose or missing fasteners. Make sure all bolts, screws, nuts, pins, snap rings, and cotter pins are in the correct position and replace any that are missing.

Checking the Air Intake Screen

Check the air intake screen on the engine each day. Remove any grass, dirt, or debris that may have accumulated on it. The air intake screen must be kept clean.

Checking the Cooling System

Check the cooling system for signs of the collection of grass and debris in the engine cooling fins every 25 hours or more often when operated in dir ty conditions. See your engine manual for instructions.

Checking the Air Cleaner

Check the air cleaner each day. See your engine manual for instructions.

Changing the Air Cleaner Element

Replace the air cleaner element at the correct intervals. See your engine manual for instructions.

Checking the Transmission Oil

Check the transmission oil level every 200 hours or twice a year, whichever comes first. If leakage is observed, check more frequently. The fill tube and check plug are shown in Figure 5.

To check the transmission oil level:

Move the tractor to a level area. Stop the engine and lock the brake.

Raise the rear fender. Locate and clean the check plug on the left side of transmission and remove it.

The oil level is correct when oil is at the bottom of the hole.

If the level is correct, reinstall and tighten the plug. If the level is low, add oil. See Specification Section for recommended lubricant specifications.

To add oil:

Remove the fill tube cap. Add oil until it reaches the bottom of the check plug hole.

Reinstall and tighten the fill tube cap and check plug.
