I just bought a used L3130 and it's at the 200 hour maintenance point. I have some questions that I would like some help with:
The operator's manual shows that I need to (among other things) change the transmission and hydraulic fluid filters. It also indicates that the HD oil needs changing at 400 hours. (The fifty hour stuff was done by the previous owner.) Am I correct in assuming that I need to carefully drain the present oil and pour it back in the tractor for another 200 hours of use after the filters are changed?
The manual shows 4 drain plugs that need to be drained before changing the transmission and HD fluid filters. I see a large (I guess) plug with a poppet stem and a large plug further back (the tractor does not have the Mid PTO). Are these two of the four drain plugs? Where are the other two? The manual diagram is not too clear. Is there one on each side of the tractor?
