The owner walks through its serviceability (hood, side panels, grill removal), discusses the optional three-point hitch kit and its cost, then does a real oil and filter change with product specifics (Mobil Delvac 1540, filter notes) and briefly fumbles with unfamiliar backhoe controls. Best for owners curious about B26 maintenance access and oil-change specifics, not for shoppers wanting loader or backhoe performance footage.

He used Mobil Delvac 1540, a long engine life formula, since he did not have Rotella 1540 on hand, along with a new oil filter.
It is an optional kit mounted under the tractor on each side of the loader frame rails. The original owner on this unit had purchased it.
It had 123 original hours, verified by the new owner, making it a very low-hour 2020 tractor despite being the third owner.
