YOU ARE ALL WELCOME LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANYMORE HELP WITH YOUR MONTANA TRACTOR. I AM A SERVICE MANAGER FOR A DEALER IN CALIFORNIA BUT I LIKE TO HELP. SO HAVE FUN WITH YOUR MONTANA'S
THE THING THAT LOOKS LIKE A POWER STEERING PUMP IS NOT. THE CAP CAN BE USED AS A ENGINE FILL. THE FRONT HUB'S THERE IS PLUGS AT THE BOTTOM THAT ARE THE DRAIN PLUGS THE BIGGER CAP ON TOP OF THE AXLE IS THE FILL POINT. YOUR FUEL FILTER YOU SHOULD CHANGE EVERY 50 TO 100 HOURS. NOTE YOU DONT NEED TO REMOVE THE TIRES. IF YOU NEED MORE TRACTION FOR YOU TRACTOR YOU CAN WATER FILL YOU TIRES (ALL FOUR TIRES HALF FULL)You are an asset to the TBM Montana Owners, thank you!
I would like a service manual for a 4344HST- just started doing the 50 hr service, a bit late. Am doing it in stages as i don't have the ability to catch all the fluid in one service. Did the Oil and ft diff today. greased it up. checked all the rest of the fluid. Have a few easy questions- ft of the left hand side of the engine is what looks like a power steering pump/reservoir (on a car), has a rubber plug/cap. We looked into it and saw nothing. Wondered what this was.
Also, how do you change the oil in the ft hubs- do you remove the tires? How do you get the oil back in? small holes! What is the change interval for the fuel filter?
I'll private message my e mail for the file.

your manual you sent sent me on the right path concerning the "PS Pump" item, and thanks for clarifing it. As a auto tech, I headed right for the valce cover to add the oil.THE THING THAT LOOKS LIKE A POWER STEERING PUMP IS NOT. THE CAP CAN BE USED AS A ENGINE FILL.
