SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

EVERY 1500 HOURS OR YEARLY

With either PTO equipped transmission, the PTO drop box is pressure lubricated by the transmission lube system. Drain the drop box at the rear of the tractor by removing the hose, 1, from the bottom of the box and allow the oil to drain out completely. Replace the hose and tighten the hose fitting.

Refill the transmission with new oil through the fill tube, 2, to the proper level as indicated by the sight gauge, 3, (or dipstick on powershift units). See “Checking the Transmission Oil Level” (Operation 10). Start the tractor at low idle and allow it to run for two minutes to refill the PTO clutch housing and rear PTO drop box. Shut the tractor off and recheck the transmission level. Add additional transmission oil as necessary.

NOTE: The PTO drop box located on the rear of the transmission does not require draining during transmission oil changing.
