FYI for anyone approaching their 300 hour maintenance. The manual says to drain the hydraulic fluid, change the filters, and refill the gearbox with the oil you just drained. Well, I didn't want to re-use the old oil, and I didn't want to replace all the oil (around 15 gal.) so here's what I did...raised the right side of the tractor 6", placed a large drain pan under the filters and removed them one at a time, after the fluid quit draining (5 gal. worth) installed the new filters, and lastly, replenished the system with new hydraulic fluid.

Hope this helps a fellow 5040 owner,

Terry
