NOTE
： ： ： ：
More frequent engine oil and filter changes
are recommended if the tractor is operated for ex-
tended periods of time at maximum rated power
and speed. Under such conditions, or other types
of continued severe operating conditions, the en-
gine oil and the engine oil filter should be changed
at 70 hours intervals.
1. With the engine off, but at normal operating
temperature, drain and discard the engine oil by
removing the drain plug, Figure
51 . Reinstall the
plug after the oil has drained and discard the oil.
2. Unscrew the oil filter, Figure
49 , catching the
used oil in a suitable container placed below the
filter. Discard the filter.
3. Coat the gasket on the new filter with a film of oil.
Screw the filter into place until the gasket con-
tacts its mating surface, then turn the filter
approximately 3/4 of a turn by hand. Do not
over-tighten.
4. Add new oil of the type specified, page
35 .
Start the engine and check the filter for leaks
after adding the oil. Be sure the oil is at the
proper level.
