CHECKING TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM OIL LEVEL
Check the hydro transmission/hydraulic system oil
level before each use. NOTE: Check the oil level
only while the engine is stopped and the tractor is
standing on a level surface.
The oil level sight glass is located in the rear of the
transmission housing, just to the right of the rear
PTO shaft. Refer to Figure 41.
The oil level is okay if oil can be seen through the
sight glass. If the level is below the sight glass, oil
must be added to the transmission as follows:
Locate the oil fill plug on the upper right of the
rear of the transmission housing. See Figure 41.
Figure 41
Clean the area around the oil fill plug to prevent
debris from entering the transmission housing.
