CHANGING TRANSMISSION FLUID

& FILTER

NOTE: The filter is shown in figure 14. Replace the filter

every 400 hours of operation or whenever changing

transmission fluid. Transmission fluid should be changed

only when performing repair work on transmission or

hydrostatic unit, or if it becomes discolored from over-

heating.

1. With hydrostatic transmission fluid hot, park tractor

on a hard, level surface. Place ground speed control

lever in neutral, place PTO lever in disengaged posi-

tion, engage the parking brake and then stop the

engine.

2. Press transmission release lever (A, figure 14) down

firmly to disengage the hydrostatic pump.

3. Remove hydrostatic transmission drain plug (B, figure

15) from lower right-hand side. Remove dirt from

around the fill cap (C, figure 14) and loosen cap to

permit air to enter transmission.

4. Clean dirt from the transmission filter and filter holder

into which it is mounted. Remove and discard filter.
