I'll be damned, I didn't know you could buy them, I've been making my own.

Got the urge to check the front axle fluid tonight… nothin on the dipstick.

It says to measure without the cap screwed in.

Added almost a quart of 80w90 to get it in the range. Added a total of 1.5qt to get it near the top. I have 15 hours on the unit. Never really used 4wd. Total capacity is about 2 gallons. I’m sure it’s fine, but it appears to have been missed on pre delivery.

That seems to be a common complaint with all tractor colors.

It isn't confidence inspiring when the dealer delivers a tractor with low fluid levels. I checked my L2501 on delivery, and it arrived with low fluid levels in the front axle and the transmission.

I think I know why. I takes a lot of time for the level to correct after filling. It can take some driving to get the oil worked into all the crevices in the gears. I had to fill, wait a few mins, fill, wait a few mins… so I can see them having it topped off, only for it to need correcting after a few hours of use. Maybe this is why it’s so common
