It shows removing both filters (noting their different sizes and torque turns), inspecting metal debris caught inside, refilling hydraulic fluid, and checking level via the sight tube. Good for owners doing their own 50-hour service who already know the engine-oil steps and need the hydraulic filter piece.
Posted by the HelloIamBear channel, an owner doing their own DIY maintenance with a joking, informal presentation style.
Unscrew each old filter, put new hydraulic fluid on the seal of the new one, screw it on until the seal touches, then give it the specified extra turn (two-thirds for the larger, one and a quarter for the smaller).
The larger right-side filter gets two-thirds of a turn more, and the smaller filter under the step gets one and a quarter turn more, per the instructions on each filter.
There is a sight tube on the deck where your left foot rests. With the tractor on level ground and not just run, the fluid level shows as a white circle in the tube.
The old filters caught metal pieces, which shows the filters are protecting the tractor, making the 50-hour change important even though many videos skip it.
