Spring Maintenance Begins

This is an owner's real spring service session on his Case IH 685, not a walkaround: he checks hours (112 for the year), bleeds brakes after winter sitting, drains hydraulic oil from both front and rear transmission plugs (explaining a common mistake of only draining one), changes engine oil and filter, and diagnoses/fixes a charging-system fault with an inline fuse. Best for owners doing their own annual maintenance.
