• Fill the crankcase until the oil level reaches the full

(F) mark on the dipstick. Refer to Figure 16. Refer

to the viscosity oil chart earlier in this section for

information regarding the proper type of oil to add

to the crankcase.

IMPORTANT:

The oil capacity (with oil filter) is 1.8 U.S.

quarts (57.6 oz.). Never overfill the engine crankcase.

IMPORTANT:

The engine may overheat and/or damage

may result if the oil level is below the ADD or over the

FULL on the dipstick.

• Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick securely onto the oil

fill tube.

IMPORTANT:

The oil fill cap/dipstick must be installed

securely onto the tube at all times when the engine

is operating. Severe engine damage could result from

failure to do so.

Changing the Engine OIl

The engine oil and oil filter should be changed after the

first 8 hours of operation, and after every 100 hours of

operation thereafter.

WARNING:

If the engine has been recently

run, the engine and surrounding metal

surfaces will be hot and can cause burns to the

skin. Allow the tractor to cool and use caution

when removing the side panels, draining the oil

from the crankcase, and changing the oil filter.

IMPORTANT:

The oil filter should be changed at every

oil change interval.

To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:

Removing the Left-hand Side Panel

• Engage the tractor’s parking brake and raise the

hood.

• Loosen, but do not remove, the rear wing nut and

upper front wing nut. See Figure 17.

Figure 17

• Grasp the side panel just behind the grille and pull

outward to release the side panel from the tapered

bushings on the grille.

• Slide the side panel forward and out of the groove

in the dash panel.

Draining the Oil

Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the

crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely

and carry away more of the engine sediment which may

have settled at the bottom of the crankcase. Use care to

avoid burns from hot oil.

• Unscrew oil fill cap and remove dipstick from the oil

fill tube.

• Pop open the protective cap on the end of the oil

drain valve to expose the drain port. See Figure 18.

Figure 18

• Push the oil drain hose (packed with this manual)

onto the oil drain port. Route the opposite end of

the hose into an appropriate oil collection container

with a capacity great enough to collect the used oil

(approximately 1.8 quarts or 57.6 oz.).

• Push the oil drain valve in slightly, then rotate

counterclockwise and pull outward to begin

draining oil. See Figure 18.

• After the oil has finished draining, push the oil drain

valve back in, rotate it clockwise to lock the valve

closed. Re-cap the end of the oil drain valve to keep

debris from entering the drain port.

IMPORTANT:

Always change the oil filter when

performing an oil change on your tractor’s engine.

Changing the Oil Filter

After draining the oil, proceed as follows:

NOTE:

Refer to the Attachments & Accessories table

found on page 32 of this manual for the proper oil filter.
