1. Park tractor on level ground.

2. Maneuver tractor forward or backward until drain/fill plug (A) is at bottom of hub.

3. Open drain/fill plug and drain oil.

4. When oil has completely drained, maneuver tractor so that words OIL LEVEL - HY-GARD (B) or OIL LEVEL (C) cast into wheel hub are horizontal.

5. IMPORTANT: Use correct lubricant. Wheel hubs with brakes must be filled with John Deere™ Hy-Gard™ oil.

   Wheel hubs without brakes are filled with John Deere™ GL-5 Gear Lubricant.

   Refill wheel hubs with oil. Add correct oil depending upon whether tractor is equipped with front brakes. If tractor is equipped with front brakes, words cast into front hubs will read OIL LEVEL - HY-GARD. Fill front brake hub with John Deere™ Hy-Gard™ oil.

   • If only words OIL LEVEL are cast into front hubs, tractor is not equipped with front brakes. Use John Deere™ GL-5 Gear Lubricant. See Gear Oil or Transmission and Hydraulic Oil in Fuel, Lubricants and Coolant section of this Operator’s Manual.
