If you missed the suction filter, don't worry about it. Just clean it next time.
What is that ?
If you guys dont have the plug in heater for the winter i really would suggest to get it if you use your tractor in the winter., I would clean the suction filter mine had some crap in it, Not a lot but to leave for 250 hrs i would think it would be full of crap or a good amount. If your hyrdo fluid is new just make sure your oil pan is supr clean and reuse the fluid. Or by a new pan for 10 bucks, better then spending 70 on hydro oil and better then leaving the suction filter for another 200 hrs.
Thanks for the advice Ray. I don't want to derail this thread but yes, I need to figure out how to start mine. The manual says, WFO. It started that way but my gut just said, no! It's been reasonably warm since I've had it so idle to 1500 rpm's seem to work equally well for now but like I said above, glow plugs still a necessity even though it has been above 80*F.
Ookla, do you post on hearth.com?
Axle hub, have you changed your hydraulic fluid yet?
I'm baffled why anyone andveveryone wouldn't use a block heater if they luve in any area of sub 32 F degree, much less below 0 F degree weather. Its easy and inexpensive and better for the tractor.
