1. Check the engine oil level. Wipe dipstick (B) off and
reinsert it fully. Remove and locate oil level.
Safe operating range is between two marks on
dipstick. Do not operate engine when oil level is below
lower mark on dipstick. Add seasonal viscosity grade
oil through filler hole (A). (See Fuel, Lubricants, and
Coolant section for oil specifications.)
2. Drain water and sediment from fuel filter drain (C).
(See Drain Water and Sediment from Fuel Filter in
Service—10 Hours.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove radiator cap or drain
coolant until coolant is cold. Always loosen
radiator cap slowly to relieve any excess
pressure.
3. Check coolant level in recovery tank (D). If engine is
COOL and level is below “LOW” mark, add coolant to
recovery tank to bring level to “LOW” mark.
NOTE: Coolant level with a cold engine should be at the
“LOW” mark. A tractor at operating temperature
should have a coolant level at the “FULL” mark.
4. Lubricate the following items at 10 hour intervals if
operating in extremely wet or muddy conditions.
• Front axle pivot pin(s)
• Steering spindles
• Tie rod ends
Use multipurpose grease. For detailed information see
Lubrication and Maintenance section.
