MFWD Oil Drain Plug

A - Differential Housing Fill Port Plug

B - Oil Level Fill Mark

C - Wheel Hub Drain/Fill Port Plug

D - Differential Housing Drain Plug

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

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

   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).

   Item	Measurement	Specification
   MFWD Differential Housing Axle Oil	Capacity	4.5 L (1.19 gal) Approximate
   MFWD Wheel Hub Axle Oil (Each)	Capacity	0.8 L (0.21 gal) Approximate
   MFWD Assembly Axle Oil	Capacity	6.0 L (1.58 gal) Approximate

   IMPORTANT: Check oil level after 30 minutes. Oil flows very slowly through bearings and axle housings. Fill through hub fill port (C) on both sides and differential housing port (D) to reduce fill time. Add oil as needed.
