Just did the 50 hour on tractor, both hydraulic filters also.
My first oil change was at art and bills enco in 1966. Since then I致e changed....a bunch.
This was by far the easiest oil change ever, for me. A drive shaft runs thru the sump, externally thank goodness. Because of that there are 2 wells with 2 drain plugs (19mm). That makes my medium sized catch pan big enough to handle the 8:qts of oil, I do one side, empty the pan, do the other side. All 3 filters were knee high easy access.
For grins I wanted to do the whole job flat footed. In other words, not on my knees, back etc etc. I did, without a problem.
I did learn next time I will put the loader up as the arm is sort of in the way of the filler. My fault, if the fel was up it would be no problem
I need a long neck funnel but it痴 in storage so, back again to Harbor Freight..
