Checking Transmission/Axle Oil Level

IMPORTANT: Do not operate tractor without oil showing in the sight glass. Damage could occur to transmission/axle system.

Do not move tractor if oil level is visible below mark (C) with the engine off. Engine can be started to perform oil level check below.

If oil level is between marks (B) and mark (C) with the engine off, it is permissible to operate the tractor. If axle pressure warning comes on, perform the complete oil level check.

18-Speed Powershift Transmission uses HY-GARD JDM J20C Oil ONLY.

2. Operate engine at 2100 rpm, with transmission in PARK position, for at least 5 minutes (or longer with cold oil) to fill axles and return oil from the axles to the transmission.

3. Stop engine and allow the oil level to stabilize in the sight gauge for at least 5 minutes. Recheck oil level and refill at fill tube (A) as necessary.

4. The final oil level at the completion of this checking procedure, with engine off, should be between marks (B).

NOTE: During tractor operation, oil can appear foamy in sight gauge.
