It covers engine oil and filter change, front axle fluid drain, and transmission/hydraulic fluid and filter replacement on both sides, pointing out bolt sizes and drain/fill locations along the way, including a metal-chip finding in the rear transmission plug. Best for owners planning to do their own scheduled maintenance.
Posted by the R. Dennis Ratcliffe channel, an owner performing his own maintenance rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
The oil drain plug is a 17 mm plug located under the oil pan near a small nub where the oil drips out.
The rear transmission plug near the three-point hitch has a magnet, and it was found entirely covered with metal chips, likely from factory grinding.
Remove the 12 mm air bolt at the fill cap to let air in, then remove the square head drain plug located at the center of the axle to let the oil flow out.
Both the left and right side transmission drain plugs are 19 mm, while the rear plug near the three-point hitch is 22 mm.
