CHECKING TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL
NOTE
Check the oil level only while the engine is
stopped and the tractor is level.
Check the oil level of the transmission case before
each use to see that it is filled to the correct level.
Before checking the transmission oil level, clean the
area around the oil fill plug/dipstick to prevent debris
from entering the transmission case. Always keep the
oil level between the “FULL” and the “ADD” marks on
the dipstick (See Figure 20). When checking the oil
level, the dipstick must be withdrawn and wiped clean,
then inserted all the way before being withdrawn for a
true reading.

Never overfill the transmission case. Damage
may result if the oil level in the transmission
case is below the “ADD” mark or over the

NOTE
For best results, fill to the “FULL” mark on the
dipstick as opposed to adding a given quantity
of oil. Always check the level on the dipstick
before adding more oil.
Refer to the LUBRICATION TABLE for information
regarding the proper type of oil to add to the
transmission case.
