Also covers filter orientation, O-ring checks, oil selection and warranty considerations, and his paint-marker hour-tracking trick. Best for 1840M owners doing their first oil change.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from running a farm, with no apparent commercial affiliation, though he notes his oil choice may not align with Massey's warranty requirements.
It has two drain plugs. You take out the first one, let it drain down, then remove the second one, since the oil pan is built over a shaft.
You can change the oil without removing the bumper, but the bumper must come off if you want to open the hood for full maintenance access.
The video creator uses Shell Rotella but says it is not recommended, since using non-Massey AGCO oil can void the warranty depending on the dealership.
Oil change was done at 50 hour break in, then every 200 to 250 hours depending on the season, never going over 250 hours.
