GC1723 Hydraulic Oil Change and Sentinel PTO shield mod

An owner-operated maintenance session on a Massey Ferguson GC1723 covering a full hydraulic fluid change, draining, filter swap, sending a sample to Blackstone, and suction filter inspection, plus a hands-on troubleshooting story about modifying a Retail Rims Sentinel PTO shield that was rubbing the hydrostatic transmission cooling fins. He grinds and rebends the plate to fix it himself. Most useful for GC1723 owners doing their first hydraulic service or considering that specific skid plate.
