It covers draining and refilling engine oil, swapping the engine, transmission, and hydraulic filters, checking the hydraulic sight glass, and cleaning the air filter, with real quantities and torque notes throughout. Best for owners doing their own service for the first time.
Posted by the Hillside Acres channel, an owner-operator performing routine maintenance on his own tractor rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
The engine oil and filter, transmission filter, and hydraulic filter. Clutch adjustment and greasing are also due but not covered in this video.
The transmission filter is smaller and orange, located under the step on the driver's side. The hydraulic filter is larger, white, and on the passenger side near the loader control.
The video states the L series takes about six quarts, using five quarts from a gallon container plus approximately one more quart, then checking the level after running it.
There is a small sight glass on the tractor. You want the fluid level to sit right in the middle of that sight glass.
