LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
4. Stop the engine and check the hydraulic oil level.
Replenish if necessary.

LUBRICATION FITTINGS
The following lubrication points (refer to the
Lubrication Chart, page 30 or 31) require the
application of a good quality grease every 50 hours.
In extremely dirty conditions, lubrication should be
more often. Refer to page 34 for the type of grease
that should be used.
• Steering linkage
•Front axle pivot
• Front wheel spindles (Two wheel drive)
• Power steering cylinder
• Pedal shaft; clutch and brake pedal
• 3-point linkage
1.
Wipe away all old grease and dirt from the
lubrication fittings to prevent dirt or foreign
material from entering the fittings when new
grease is applied.
2.
Use a high pressure grease gun to force in
the new grease until clean grease oozes from
the assembly being lubricated.
3.
Wipe away any excess grease.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system in your RANSOMES Tractor has
been filled with one year lift antifreeze.
To obtain maximum efficiency and service life from
the engine, it must operate at the correct
temperature. This is dependent on the cooling
system. The system should be kept filled with a 50/
50 solution of permanent antifreeze and clear water.
Checking Coolant Level: Check the coolant level
on the coolant reservoir daily or 10 hours. This
check should be made when the engine is stopped.
The coolant is at the correct level when the coolant
level is between the FULL and LOW marks on the
side of the reservoir, Figure 51.
Figure 51 - Coolant Reservoir
1.
If the coolant level is lower than LOW mark,
add clean water or antifreeze solution as
necessary. If the cooling system already
contains antifreeze, add only antifreeze
solution of the correct water/antifreeze
mixture. Plain water will dilute the solution
and weaken its protection.
NOTE: Your RANSOMES Tractor is equipped with
the coolant reservoir. Therefore the radiator cap
should not be removed when checking the coolant
level.
