It covers locating and pulling all three drain plugs (with bolt sizes), draining roughly 11 gallons, swapping both hydraulic filters including the magnetic ring, refilling with 10.6 gallons, and checking the dipstick. Good for owners planning to do this exact service themselves.
Posted by the Everything Elliott channel, an owner working on his own Kubota L4701 rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
Three drain plugs: one Allen head plug and one 22 millimeter bolt near the front, plus two 14 millimeter bolts on the axle housing.
Draining removes roughly 11 gallons, but the correct refill amount is 10.6 gallons added through the rear fill port.
Unscrew each filter by hand using an oil filter wrench, remove the magnetic ring from the old filter, clean it, insert it into the new filter, oil the seal, and hand tighten.
There is a dipstick under the seat; after refilling with 10.6 gallons the level should sit right at the top line before the tractor is run.
