The video goes step-by-step through engine oil, both oil filters, transmission/hydraulic fluid and suction screen, fuel filter, front axle fluid, and greasing brake and pedal pivot points, including a few items the manual doesn't require until 500 hours. Practical and unhurried; most useful to GC1723 owners doing their own maintenance.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on service work on their own machine, with no apparent dealership or commercial affiliation evident from the transcript or channel description.
It calls for right at three quarts, which is a little over full before starting; after running it settles to about the half full mark on the dipstick.
The manual does not call for it until 500 hours, but the owner changed it anyway at 243 hours and found crud in the bottom of the old filter.
Remove the wheel and guard, pull the suction tube out, then clean the screen with brake clean, checking for metal pieces before reinstalling with the o-rings seated.
The owner filled it with four quarts, loosening the vents on each side to let air out while filling and lifting the wheels off the ground to drain it fully.
