How big a deal is it to get this right at the 50 hour mark? I just turned 50 and I may have another 15-20 hours before I'll be able to get it in. Do bad things happen say at 70 hours?
That is why it is initially changed early, the break-in metal.I wouldn't let it go too long...EdC said:garth466
Just changing the "break-in" oil and hydrostatic trans fluid at 50 hours. I was pretty surprised at all the metal filings that were sticking to the magnets in the trans fluid. After that it is every 200 hours for my 2320. Pretty easy to do yourself just take John Deere's fluid capacities with a grain of salt and approach the full mark slowly.

I kind of wanted to have the dealer do it for documentation and so I can watch everything they do (check, tighten, grease...). Maybe documenting the 50 hour at 70 isn't so good. It just seems very early to change the oil. Last I looked at it, it wasn't even that dark.
