Checking the Fasteners
Every 25 hours, or any time looseness of parts,
rattles, or excess noise and vibration are noted,
check all fasteners. Look for loose or missing
fasteners. Make sure all bolts, screws, nuts, pins,
snap rings, and cotter pins are in the correct position
and replace any that are missing.
Checking the Air Intake Screen
Check the air intake screen on the engine each day.
Remove any grass, dirt, or debris that may have
accumulated on it. The air intake screen must be
kept clean.
Checking the Cooling System
Check the cooling system for signs of the collection of
grass and debris in the engine cooling fins every 25
hours or more often when operated in dirty
conditions. See your engine manual for instructions.
Checking the Air Cleaner
Check the air cleaner each day. See your engine
manual for instructions.
Changing the Air Cleaner Element
Replace the air cleaner element at the correct
intervals. See your engine manual for instructions.
Checking the Transmission Oil
Check the transmission oil level every 200 hours or
twice a year, whichever comes first. If leakage is
observed, check more frequently. The fill tube and
check plug are shown in Figure 5.
To check the transmission oil level:
• Move the tractor to a level area. Stop the engine
and lock the brake.
• Raise the rear fender. Locate and clean the check
plug on the left side of transmission and remove it.
• The oil level is correct when oil is at the bottom of
the hole.
• If the level is correct, reinstall and tighten the plug.
If the level is low, add oil. See Specification
Section for recommended lubricant specifications.
To add oil:
• Remove the fill tube cap. Add oil until it reaches
the bottom of the check plug hole.
• Reinstall and tighten the fill tube cap and check
plug.
