Read articles →This is a detailed, hands-on full-service walkthrough of a specific 2016 MX5200 HST with almost 1,400 hours, done by its long-term owner. It covers engine oil and filter, air filter (inner/outer), fuel filter and water separator teardown, and a full hydraulic/transmission fluid drain across three drain points with filter and magnet inspection, including part numbers throughout. Best for owners doing their own service who want real procedures, not a buying overview.
Posted by an owner-operator (Just Tinkering) who has serviced this same tractor multiple times over eight years and references his own prior maintenance videos.
There are three drain points: one large main drain plug, plus one drain point on each of the two round gearbox housings at the back.
Do not be alarmed, some metal shavings are normal from the magnet catching debris; replace the magnet with a new one if using original filters, since it is not reusable.
Yes, turn the shutoff valve counterclockwise to the horizontal position before opening the fuel filter, otherwise the tank will drain out.
The tractor needs 6 quarts of 15W-40 oil for the engine oil change.
