• Clean around the base of the trans-

mission oil filter and remove the
filter by turning it counterclockwise.

• Apply a light coating of clean trans-

mission oil to the gasket of the new
filter. Install the filter by turning it
clockwise, by hand, until the gasket
contacts the filter base on the trans-
mission housing; then tighten the
filter an additional 1/2 turn.

• Clean the area around the

Transmission Oil Fill/Dipstick to
prevent debris from entering the
transmission  case.

• Remove the dipstick and slowly

pour oil into the oil fill tube. Fill the
transmission case until the oil level
reaches the “Full” mark on  dipstick.

• Reinstall the dipstick securely into

the oil fill tube.

• Start the engine and allow it to run

for a few minutes. Shut the engine
off, then check for leaks and
recheck the oil level in the
transmission case.

Important Information: The service
life and reliability of any machine
depends upon the care it is given.
Proper lubrication is a very important
part of that care. The maintenance
schedule reflects the minimal require-
ments to maintain the equipment.
More frequent inspections and mainte-
nance is preferable.
Using the lubrication illustration as a
guide, make certain that all lubrication
fittings are installed and functioning.
Be sure all fittings are free from dirt
and paint so the lubricant is certain to
enter the bearing.

Using a pressure lubricating gun,
always force the lubricant through the
full length of each bearing until it
emerges at the end, carrying with it
the worn lubricant and any dirt that
may have entered the bearing.

Miscellaneous working parts not
provided with lubrication fittings should
be oiled regularly with a good grade of
lubricating oil.

Always lubricate the tractor thoroughly
before taking it to a remote location for
a prolonged period of time.

Lubricant is cheap. Use plenty of it.
Worn parts can be expensive to
replace.

Keep your supply of lubricating oil and
grease stored in clean containers, and
covered to protect from dust and dirt.

Keep the lubricating gun nozzle clean
and wipe dirt from the grease fittings
before lubricating.

Electrical Box
The electrical box contains the relay
and fuses. Refer to Figure 23 for the
electrical box layout. The electrical box
is located under the upper bulkhead in
front of the dash panel. To access the
electrical box:
• Raise the hood of the tractor
• Locate the locking tabs on the left

and right side of the upper
bulkhead.

• Pull up on the tabs and lift the upper

bulkhead from the tractor.

• Lift the locking tab and remove the

cover from the electrical box.
