OPERATION 52

Change the Transmission Oil

To drain the transmission oil, use the following procedure based on the type of transmission the tractor is equipped with.

Quad Shift III Transmission - Operate the tractor a sufficient amount of time to warm up the transmission oil. Remove the drain plug, 1, from the transmission housing and allow the oil to drain into a pan.

Replace the drain plug and tighten. Refill the transmission with new oil through the fill tube to the proper level as indicated by the sight gauge.

Quad Shift III transmissions equipped with a PTO option will not have a drain plug on the transmission. A PTO lubrication hose, 1, will be installed into the drain port. Loosen the hose and allow the hose to drain from the transmission. Replace the hose and tighten.
