1.10. The difference in widths is accounted for by the
fact that axle flanges protrude visibly further out
of the housing on the 618-0428 (5000 MFD)
than they do on the 618-0484 (7000 MFD).
1.11. To mechanically distinguish between a Series
7000 MFD and a Series 5000 MFD, rotate the
input (pinion) shaft. Clockwise rotation (looking
at the end of the pinion shaft) will result in for-
ward tractor motion on the Series 7000 (618-
0484 or 618-3207). Clockwise rotation will result
in reverse tractor motion on the Series 5000
(618-0428).

MFD REMOVAL: PREPARATION
NOTE:
This procedure can be done on tractors
that are equipped with cutting decks, front-end
loaders, and other attachments. It is not neces-
sary to remove the attachments in order to
remove and replace the MFD.
2.1.
Park the tractor on a firm level surface. Lower
any attachments to the ground.
2.2.
Place a drain pan under each final drive hous-
ing. Remove the drain plugs using an 11 mm
wrench. Remove the fill plugs using a 16 mm
wrench. See Figure 2.2.
2.3.
Place a drain pan under the differential housing,
and remove the drain plug using a 16 mm
wrench. Remove the oil level gauge to allow
faster draining. See Figure 2.3.
