Most useful for DIY owners bracing for their own first service.
Posted by the Fate Farms PA channel, presented from an owner-operator perspective with no apparent dealer affiliation.
The oil filter sits behind the fuel filter and water separator, so both have to be removed to access it, and the front end loader must come off first.
There are two plugs on either side of the drive shaft, both Allen key style; one plug required cutting a modified Allen key tool to fit the tight space.
No, the dealer advised against pre-filling because dirt entering a tier 4 injector can ruin it; instead hang the filters empty and prime using the bleeder on top until fuel flows.
