SECTION V MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of the gearbox, differential and rear reduc-
tion units
Every 150 hours : check gearbox oil level through level hole.
With tractor on leveled ground, the oil level should reach the hole’s center
line.
Every 1200 hours: replace the oil.
The gearbox oil also feeds all the tractor’s hydraulic services: hydrostatic
steering, power lift and hydraulic distributors.
The new oil must be poured in through the hole located in the power-lift’s
upper section.
After changing the oil, bleed the hydrostatic steering circuit by rotating the
steering wheel in both directions with the engine running until oil free of
bubbles flows out of the loosened fittings. Then tighten the fittings once
again.
