Read articles →An owner walking through the complete RK24 50-hour service from personal experience, not a manual recitation. Goes hands-on with hydraulic fluid drain and sump screen cleaning (with a frank warning about pan capacity), the hard-to-reach hydrostatic filter that required moving a hose and cable, front axle gear oil, grease fittings, and engine oil. Honest about what was awkward or broke. Most useful for RK24 owners preparing to do this service themselves.
Posted by the Rural King Tractor Nation channel; the presenter speaks as an owner who recently purchased the RK24, suggesting a user perspective rather than a dealership or manufacturer source.
The tractor holds a little over four and a half gallons of hydraulic oil, so you need at least a five gallon collection pan when draining it.
It sits tucked behind the rear transaxle in tight quarters, requiring you to move a hydraulic hose and loosen a cable just to drop the filter down.
The transcript states you're in it for about four quarts total for the front end gear oil.
The sump screen broke apart when reinstalling it, and the hydrostatic filter location made that part of the service very time consuming.
