Over the weekend I did my 500 hr service.
It took me about 5 hours on Saturday then on Sunday I changed the coolant.

Here's what I used:
Air Filter..WIX WA10428
Oil Filter..NAPA gold 1360
Fuel Filter..NAPA FIL3262
Hyd Filter.. OEM 6258877M91
Oil...........Rotella 15w40
Hyd Oil.....Permatran 821XL SynBlend
Grease.....TSC heavy Duty 3% moly
Coolant....Zerex G 05...50/50 premix

Everything went pretty smooth, I had almost nothing on the screen for the Tranny, cleaned it off with kerosene, o-rings were in good shape.
Fuel filter sediment bowl had some crud in it...cleaned it out with Kero, paper towels and a screwdriver. Put it back together, bled the line, she fired right up.

I clean the air filter and grease the tractor frequently throughout the year, in July I usually do another engine oil and filter change (15w40) then in October/November I switch to Rotella T6.

I used the small drain hose for the radiator and I took the block drain plug out, after it drained, I stuck a garden hose in the radiator. In a short while clear water came out of both drain locations. I removed the coolant overflow tank, rinsed it out and reinstalled it.
Reattached the radiator drain hose, installed the block plug.

I do have one ripped rubber boot on the steering arm, I plan to patch that with a rubber patch and glue.

I had everything in stock, just had to purchase the Permatran 821XL $105.04 for 5 gallons

Anyhow, everything went well, no problems.
