Read articles →This is a hands-on, step-by-step 50-hour service walkthrough on a Massey Ferguson GC1710, done by an owner in their own shop/yard, not a dealer. It covers draining and refilling engine oil and filter, transmission/hydraulic fluid, checking hydrostatic cooling fins and fan, and draining/refilling front axle fluid with torque notes and bolt sizes. Useful for owners planning to do their own service rather than shoppers comparing models.
Posted by the Ty's Projects channel, an owner performing DIY maintenance on his own GC1710.
The engine oil drain plug is 19 millimeter, and it has an O-ring you should check for damage and clean the mating surface before reinstalling.
The video states it takes about 2.7 quarts of 10W30 engine oil for the service.
There is no dipstick. Instead there is a small sight glass, a little white piece, that shows whether the hydraulic oil level is low or good.
Lift the bucket so the front axle is off the ground, remove the 14 millimeter drain plugs on each side, drain the oil, wrap the plugs in Teflon tape, then refill through the fill cap until oil comes out the other side.
