Checking MFWD Axle Housing Oil Level

NOTE: MFWD differential case on Independent Link Suspension equipped tractors is connected to tractor transmission case and operates using the same system oil. There is no separate oil level check. Checking hydraulic oil level also checks level of MFWD differential case oil on these tractors.

Remove axle housing fill plug (A). Oil level should be at bottom of fill hole. If oil level is low, fill to bottom of fill hole with John Deere™ Hy-Gard™ oil as specified in Transmission and Hydraulic Oil in Fuel, Lubricants and Coolant section of this Operator’s Manual. Install and tighten fill plug.
