Dealer and Manual says replace ALL fluids and filters at 50hrs including front differential and mower gear box. I'm now at 50.5, and will be at 53hrs by the time I service the machine.
Now, not that I dont want to start out maintenance right on this tractor, I just dont see the point in spending $200+ if I dont have to.
I'm thinking of doing the following. Changing the front differential oil, engine oil and filter, *checking* air filter, fuel filter, and changing the transmission *filter*.
I see no need to replace all the hydraulic oil in the machine, I can just change the filter and replace the lost hydraulic fluid and it should be fine. I also dont feel the need to change air filter, it looks clean as a whistle. Same thing with mower gear box oil, it has not been used the entire time the hour meter has been running.
Any suggestions or comments on what I'm doing?
