It covers oil and filter change, both air filters, fuel filter replacement with bleeding the line, and a hydraulic filter swap, including uncertainty over which filter goes where and how much oil to add. Useful for owners planning to do this service themselves rather than pay a dealer.
Posted by the Arlene Acres Farm channel, an owner doing their own tractor maintenance for the first time and learning as they go.
Unscrew the water sensor, remove the old filter letting fuel drain into a bucket, oil the new filter seal, screw it on, then loosen the number 10 bleed screw and prime by pressing down until fuel flows without air.
The manual calls for nine quarts. The owner added eight quarts first, started the tractor to fill the oil filter, then added a ninth quart to reach the dipstick mark.
The owner could not confirm it. The manual's fuel system pages only mention the filter already changed, so he assumed the extra filter was sent by accident and planned to contact the supplier.
The video shows removing side panels to access both the inner and outer air filters, which were included in an online filter kit along with the oil and fuel filters.
