One more question. My 3 point works great. It looks like if I pull past the "up" section I can lock it in the up position. I have been putting the lever back in the neutral section of its range but can see how that could get ugly if I accidentally pushed it down.
Is it standard to "lock" it in that up position? Does locking it up affect the pump at all?

Not sure I am understanding. Are you asking about the round valve handle right under and between your legs? That does lock the lift in whatever position it is in. I'm sure that feature is used differently from one person to another. I rarely if ever use it. When your tractor is parked out of use the lift should be lowered for safety.
Different models plumbing varies. My old 2002D had a relief valve that would relieve if you had the lock valve closed and then attempted to raise the lift. However, I think there are some models that don't work that way and pumps have been destroyed. I do not know about the 1610.

I think yours is fresh off the Recon Boat. Also it should not die if throttle is wide open.
And if it had that little oil in it it's possible that was just enough oil to ship it and move it around, but too little oil and all those axle and gear bearings will be dry!! Look for a leak but i suspect there possibly shipped with a gallon or two to be cheap.
How many hours on it...16 or 19ish??;-)

Plus that third world oil they use and ship it with, NO WAY I would put any time, esp under load on that stuff.

Rear Axle is lubed with the same oil as the hydro, front axle if 4wd is its own oil.

I used 15w40 for the first 50 hrs of use and switched to Rotella T6 5w40. Hydro and rear axle is the same like Clemsonfor said. Use a JD 303 hydro oil for that and front axle you should use 90wt gear lube. I use the foot throttle a lot of the time unless I'm pulling a trailer more than a few feet or tilling, then I use the hand throttle. Nice looking tractor by the way!
It has 250+ hours so they either didn't reset the clock or it may not have have been fresh off the boat after all. Either way I am going over the whole thing before putting it to much use. It does have some paint chips and wear so it has seen some use since it was painted.

Nice tractor!
That's the Decompression lever beneath the steering wheel. That Engine Stop decal on there doesn't belong there.
I've never seen a loader like that before. Brand name? Does it have a sub-structure to carry stresses to the rear axle when you ram into something?
