Re: 50 Hour Service
Got through what I think is the most difficult part of the 50 hour service... changing the transmission/hydraulic oil and filters and the engine oil and filter.
The only difficulty I had was trying to remove the engine oil filter. That thing must have been put on with an impact wrench. An oil filter wrench didn't even budge it. To get it off, I had to drive a large screwdriver through the filter with a hammer and then use all of the strength and body weight I could muster to get the thing to even start to move. It took me about 4 or 5 strained pulls to remove it. Not good for the old hemies, if you know what I mean.
All other filters and plugs came off surprisingly easy. Glad I did it myself. The alternative was to schlep the tractor 60 miles to the nearest dealer. Yuk.
Reading the discussions on DYI servicing really increased my knowledge base, taught me a few tricks and gave confidence.
Thanks to all for your help.
