John Deere Lx 188 Motor and Transmission Oil change

This is a hands-on DIY walkthrough of both engine and transmission oil changes on a John Deere LX188 with a 17 HP water-cooled Kawasaki engine. It covers extracting old oil with a 12-volt pump when a drain bolt won't budge, filter replacement, oil type and quantity (about 1.5L engine, 3L transmission), and refilling the hydrostatic transmission reservoir. Useful for owners doing this specific maintenance job themselves.
