ok so I decided to do the 50 hr service myself, id like to first say thank you to all of you for helping me with question I have had and I also want to say thank you to Jon at www.Goffsequipent.com in the service department for giving me a head up on a sale they had a while back and I took advantage of it by doubling up on filters and stuff.
so now for what I did. the hydro was the best looking fluid out of all of them. Many have said that it doesn't need changing at 50 hrs I have no idea what to say on that as I'm learning as I go. I went to autozone and bought a nice long oil funnel cause I purchased the big 5 gallon bucket of hydro fluid and its way eaiser to pour it in with this type of funnel. I posted pictures of where everything is. from their its pretty much taking things off putting hem back on and filling up the oil levels appropriately.
the front diff fluid looked really bad not sure why. if its the same fluid as the the tranny when it came from the factory then man the front diff def needs changing more often. it was also the hardest fill out of all of them, next time I will go get a better funnel just for the front diff. also make sure you open up the breather valves on top when filling it up. fill it up slow or it will pour out when I saw it getting up to the top I closed one hole poured in more slowly filled more then closed the other. engine oil was good but I changed it anyway. I put in the oil that massey recommends for warranty purposes. dealer told me just in case something breaks they can use it as a excuse to void warranty. I wanted to post a step by step process but I got really busy with my restaurant, catering parties just started popping up this month and last.
please feel free to add you own input and recommendations.
ps I forgot to take pictures of all the grease points but I will and update.
