Change Oil in MFWD Axle (If Equipped)

1. Tractor should be positioned on level ground to assure correct oil levels when filling.

NOTE: Each front wheel hub has a drain/fill plug (C).

2. Remove drain/fill plugs (C and D). When draining the wheel hubs, rotate the wheels so the drain/fill hole (C) is in the 6 o'clock position. Drain oil.

3. Rotate the wheels so oil level mark (B) is parallel to the ground.

4. Install drain plug (D).

5. Fill differential housing at fill locations (A) with John Deere HY-GARD ® Gear Lubricant. (See Fuels, Lubricants and Coolant section.) Fill hubs to level mark (B), and differential housing to bottom of fill hole (C).
