Tony also flags a common transmission cooling fin issue. Most useful for GC1705 owners doing their own scheduled maintenance.
A homestead owner-operator channel, so the perspective is hands-on and experience-based rather than dealer- or manufacturer-influenced.
The rear tires should have 20 PSI and the front tires 22 PSI. Correct pressure matters for loader stability and to avoid rollovers on hills.
They are on the brake shaft, mower deck lift arms on both sides, HST foot pedals, loader bottom points, bucket pins, spindle bearings, yolks, and drive shaft.
A small fan blows on cooling fins at the transmission input, and these fins often get matted up with grass, so they need regular checking and blowing out.
There are two plugs, a drain plug and a fill plug. The gearbox is full when fluid reaches the fill plug level.
