It shows the filter swap, cleaning the oil cap area, dipstick checks, and refilling roughly 1.3 gallons of engine oil plus topping off drained hydraulic fluid, ending with a restart. Best suited for existing owners doing their own fluid service rather than shoppers researching the tractor.
Posted by the Curtis Kinoo channel, an owner walking through his own hands-on maintenance steps on his tractor.
The owner pours 1.3 gallons of oil into the engine block, stating that is what the tractor needs.
Place hydraulic oil on the top surface of the filter rim so it does not stick, then tighten the filter into place, following the owner's manual.
About a half gallon leaked out when the main hydraulic filter was removed in the prior video, which is then refilled and checked.
Pull the dipstick out, reinsert it, then pull it out again to confirm no oil remains, checking it multiple times as a safeguard.
