MX4800 - No trans pickup screen?

[Michael In Tennessee]

Getting ready to do 400 hour service. Based on suggested parts (only filters and oil) and looking at parts lists, I see no pickup screen. Correct? I'd hate to have to drain 12 gallons of UDT2 if I'm wrong. Pretty sure I'm right.

Better not be one. I'm done.

I have not seen one either. I think you are good to go.

Other than cleanup, I'm done with the 400 hour service. $613 at the dealer for everything except motor oil and anti freeze. Another $100 for that. Rotella is hard to come by, BTW. My shop is a mess. I completely fumbled draining the antifreeze. Also trying to catch 12 gallons of trans oil is a slight challenge.

I use a 58 quart oil drain pan off Amazon for HST fluid. Works great.

Kubotas draw trans oil through the filter(s). Owner's book may say 11.6 gal but its more like 8 unless every pump, cylinder, filter and cooler is dry.

Fluid drain on either of my m9's is just shy of 15 gallons. I use an old junk truck aluminum fuel tank cut in 3rds. You pull the single drain plug and you'd swear it was an up side down oil gusher.

About 7 gallons on the too high side.

Well, I got just about 10 gallons. Maybe 9.

Don't use SUDT in either of my M's. I use Chevron All Weather THC Synthetic and have since the first change. I usually buy a 55 gallon drum of it. It's a tad more than SUDT but I have much better flowability in the cold winter weather than SUDT and it's orange, not clear. I get more than I need because I'm always loosing some when I change hydraulic couplers on my implements. Keeps the back end oiled.
