• Remove the old hydrostatic filter by turning it

counterclockwise, and immediately replace with

the new filter. Turn the filter clockwise by hand

until the gasket contacts the filter base; then

tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn.

• Clean any residual oil from the top of the

transmission.

Changing Hydraulic System Filter

The hydro transmission oil filter should be changed

after the first 25 of tractor operation, and after every

200 hours operation.

• Stop the tractor engine and lower the mower

deck or any other hydraulically lifted implement

to the ground. NOTE: To improve access to the

hydraulic system filter, the mower deck may be

removed from the tractor.

• Clean the area around the hydraulic system oil

filter to prevent debris from entering the trans-

mission housing.

• Position a suitable container below the hydrau-

lic system filter. Refer to Figure 43

NOTE (25 Hour Break-In Filter Change Only): A

large volume of oil may drain from the transmission

when changing the hydraulic system oil filter. If

collected in a clean container and kept free of

contamination and debris, this oil may be reused

in the transmission/ hydraulic system.

Figure 43

• Apply a light coating of clean transmission oil to

the gasket of the new hydraulic system filter.

NOTE: If performing the 25 hour break-in filter

change, install the new filter as quickly as possible

to minimize the amount of oil that drains from the

transmission.

• Remove the old hydraulic system filter by turn-

ing it counterclockwise.

• If performing the 25 hour filter change, install

the new filter immediately. If performing the 200

hour filter change, clean the oil filter base.

• Install the new filter. Turn the filter clockwise,

by hand, until the gasket contacts the filter base

on the transmission housing; then tighten the

filter an additional 1/2 to 3/4 turn.

• Clean the area around the transmission fill plug

to prevent debris from entering the transmis-

sion (Refer to Figure 41) and remove the plug.

• Following the instructions previously provided

in CHECKING TRANSMISSION/HYDRAULIC

SYSTEM OIL LEVEL, refill the transmission

with the clean oil and/or new hydraulic oil.

• Reinsert the oil fill plug into the transmission

housing and turn clockwise until tight.

• Start the engine and allow it to run for a few

minutes. Shut the engine off, then check for

leaks and recheck the oil level in the transmis-

sion housing.

CHANGING THE HYDRO TRANSMISSION AND

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OIL

Change the hydrostatic transmission/hydraulic

system oil after every 200 hours of operation. The

dry capacity of the transmission/hydraulic system is

approximately 20 quarts.

Change the transmission/hydraulic system oil as

follows:

• Operate the tractor for a short period to warm

the oil to the normal operating temperature.

Place the tractor on a level surface and engage

the parking brake.

• Stop the tractor engine and lower the mower

deck or any other hydraulically lifted implement

to the ground. NOTE: To improve access to the

drain plug and hydraulic system filter, the

mower deck may be removed from the tractor.

• Clean the area around the transmission drain

plug and the oil fill plug to prevent debris from

entering the transmission. Refer to Figure 41

and Figure 43.

• Place a suitable container(s) beneath the front

of the transmission housing.

• Remove the oil fill plug to help vent the trans-

mission, then remove the drain plug and allow

the transmission oil to drain into the con-

tainer(s). Reinstall the drain plug after draining

the oil. Refer to Figure 41 and Figure 43.
