Read articles →An owner-operator walkthrough of draining and refilling the front axle fluid on a Workmaster 40 at 170 hours. Covers drain plug locations on both sides, a useful tip for tilting the axle with the loader bucket to maximize drainage, and a practical workaround for filling without a dipstick. Useful for Workmaster 35/40 owners doing this job for the first time.
Posted by the 4-LOW channel, presenting as a tractor owner sharing first-hand maintenance experience on their own machine.
According to the manual it holds about six quarts of heavy duty gear oil.
Pull the top check plug while filling; once fluid starts to weep out of that hole, the axle is full.
Use the loader bucket to raise and tilt the axle down on each side so it drains fully from the drain plugs.
The owner had not changed it until 170 hours and about two and a half years of use, and expects a couple more years before doing it again.
