The owner locates and pulls the rear differential filter screen, shows it clogged with metal shavings, cleans it in gasoline, reinstalls it, then refills via the oil fill window using the geyser method, tracking roughly how many quarts went in. Good for owners doing this exact job themselves who want to see the trial-and-error in real time.
Posted by the 60 Acres of Whatever channel, an owner working on their own tractor and figuring things out as they go rather than an expert or dealer presenting a polished procedure.
It is behind a teardrop or diamond shaped cap on the left side of the tractor at the rear differential, held in place by a spring and two bolts.
Park on a level surface, remove the oil fill window bolt and washer, fill until fluid gushes out like a geyser, then quickly reinsert the bolt and washer.
The owner estimates 26 quarts total across all cases, but only about 12 to 14 quarts went in before fluid started spilling from the fill window on this attempt.
It was covered in metal shavings, paint shavings, and debris described as looking like orange dog hair, with no light passing through it before cleaning.
