Read articles →A DIY owner walking through the RK24's required 50-hour service for the first time, narrating every stumble as it happens, lifting the tractor on jack stands, pulling rear tires with a 19mm socket, draining and filtering the trans-hydraulic fluid, and doing the engine oil change. Practical, unpolished, and honest about surprises like unexpected fluid pressure. Most useful for fellow first-timers doing this job without a shop manual.
Posted by the Hero Homestead channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing first-hand homestead experiences rather than a dealership or professional service channel.
Front axle fluid checked and changed, trans hydraulic fluid drained and refilled, two trans filters checked and changed, plus a normal engine oil change.
A 19 millimeter socket removes the bolt that goes through the rim into the axle, since it does not use lug nuts like a car.
Lift all four wheels off the ground using the backhoe and loader feet, then place car jack stands on the hardened steel frame points and cinder blocks up front.
