Checking Transmission-Hydraulic System Oil Level

Never operate tractor if the oil level is above maximum level mark (H) or below minimum level mark (G) on oil level dipstick (C). Operating the tractor under these conditions causes a loss of power, excessive fuel consumption, and oil overheating.

Check oil level with the cold engine, preferably in the morning before operating the tractor.

1. Park tractor on level terrain.

    Insert oil level dipstick (C) completely.

11. Check oil level as follows:

    1. Hold oil level dipstick (C) horizontally.

    2. The oil level should be in region (F) between minimum level mark (G) and maximum level mark (H).

    3. The oil level should be preferably in region (D).

    4. If oil level is within hatched area (D), this means the reservoir is full.

12. If level is below or at minimum level mark (G) fill up with specified oil through fill port where oil level dipstick (C) is inserted.

    Consult specified oil in Fuels, Lubricants, and Coolant Section.
