It covers removing side panels for access, draining oil, swapping the filter (with the exact John Deere part number and price given), cleaning up the mess, and refilling with 4.5 quarts of 15W-40, then checking the dipstick level. Useful for owners planning to do this DIY maintenance themselves.
Posted by an owner-operator (Andrew, of B&B Land Services) demonstrating maintenance on his own tractor, not a dealer or sponsored channel.
The 2038R, and likely the 2032R too, takes four and a half quarts of oil.
The filter part number is M806419, and it cost ten dollars and eighty cents at the dealership.
Remove the side panels, then use a 17mm wrench on the drain port left of the center drive shaft, and loosen the oil cap to help it drain.
The owner likes to keep it right in the middle of the hash marks, a happy medium between the upper and lower marks.
