Re: Hydraulic fluid Drain plug on F17D
I have an F215 which has reduction gears at the outermost end of the axle next to the rear wheel and there is also a drain plug on each of the reduction gear covers (ie 3 drain plugs in total to drain all the hydraulic oil). On my tractor the drain plugs are easily identified because they are painted yellow.
The F series tractors have both an internal strainer screen which is located behind a plate with 3 bolts under the left hand footrest and an external canister filter which on my tractor is underneath the floor under the clutch pedal.
