Gene V shares specific observations: the suction filter is accessible without removing the tire, has come out clean twice (making him question doing it every interval), and shows thread damage he suspects is a factory issue. He also compares fuel filter bleeding procedures between the manual and AGCO's video. Useful for existing GC1710 owners doing their own maintenance.
Posted by the Gene V channel, an owner sharing hands-on maintenance experience and quirks found while servicing his own GC1710.
No, you don't have to take off the tire. It's a bit of a chore to reach, but there is plenty of room to pop it out into the wheel well and clean it.
The owner found the first few threads flattened and torn, enough to flake off by hand. Other GC owners reported the same, suggesting a factory thread runout issue on the transaxle.
The manual says to bleed the line after changing the filter, but AGCO's YouTube video skips bleeding entirely, just drop in the new filter and start it up.
Partially fill the canister with fuel before fully screwing it on, turning on the cutoff valve first, then fully screw it on and start the engine.
