Read articles →An owner-operator showing the actual step-by-step process of changing the front axle gear oil on a TYM T224 at the 50-hour mark. Covers locating the filler and drain plugs, inspecting plugs for metal debris, fluid type (80-90 gear oil), capacity (2.5 liters), socket sizes needed, and cold-weather quirks slowing the drain. Most useful for T224 owners tackling this service themselves for the first time.
An owner-operator channel sharing hands-on maintenance experience from what appears to be a working farm property, with no commercial affiliation evident.
Locate the filler on top and drain plugs on either side, drain the old oil, check plugs for metal, reinstall, and refill with 2.5 liters of 80-90 gear oil.
The drain plug on the motor is 14mm, and the axle plugs use a 12mm socket.
It calls for 2.5 liters of 80-90 gear oil, and the owner filled it with roughly 2.4 liters and found it full.
The owner found both plugs looked clean with nothing on them and no metal, which is a good sign.
