Allow a minute or two for the oil to be absorbed
by filter material, then pour off the excess oil.
6.
Apply a thin coat of new oil to the rubber gasket
on the replacement filter.
7.
Install the replacement oil filter to the filter
adapter. Turn the oil filter clockwise until the
rubber gasket contacts the filter adapter, then
tighten the filter an additional 1/2 turn.

Fill the crankcase with the proper type of new
oil; refer to Changing the Oil, page 28.
Servicing the Tracks
Check the tracks for excessive wear and clean them
periodically. If the tracks are worn, replace them.
Cleaning the Tracks
1.
With a bucket on the loader arms, lower the
bucket to the ground so that the front of the
traction unit lifts off of the ground a few inches.
2.
Stop the engine, and remove the key.
3.
Using a water hose or pressure washer, remove
dirt from each track system.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that you fully clean
the road wheels, the tension wheel, and the
drive sprocket (Fig. 29). The road wheels
should rotate freely when clean.
