Part 1 covers draining roughly 8.5 gallons of transmission/hydraulic fluid via a bucket-swapping method, inspecting metal shavings on the drain plug, and removing/reinstalling the suction and hydraulic filters step by step. Best for owners planning to DIY their own service and wanting an unpolished, detailed walkthrough of bolt sizes and small tricks.
Posted by Gil, an individual owner documenting his own tractor maintenance for the first time, not a dealer or professional mechanic.
The transmission holds about eight and a half gallons of fluid, which the owner drains using a bucket-swapping method to avoid a mess.
Yes, the plug is magnetic and picked up noticeable metal shavings, which the owner believes is likely just break-in material from the tractor.
The filter comes out through the top; reinstalling it goes the same way, pushing it up into place and seating it evenly before running bolts in.
Putting isopropyl alcohol on the inside of the hose helps it slide on more easily during reinstallation.
