[bigbull338]

a buddy came over yesterday morning an we gave the MX5100 HST a complete service.we greased the tractor from top to bottom.then we drained the engine oil an changed the oil filter.then it was on to the hydro oil.an boy was that oil ready tobe changed after 125hrs.the hysro filter had some metal shavings in it.but it wasnt bad at all.took us less than 3hrs todo it.bent a fliter wrench all to heck.still have 1 filter to change.now for the senseless repair list.let my nephew use the tractor to load an move some junk no prob.i told him watch it an dont mess nothing up.well he parked the tractor so i couldnt see any probs.the backstop on the hay forks is bent an twisted to heck.the hoodlatch is busted.plus a headlight was cracked an loose.needless to say i was pretty madd,because didnt bother to tell me an he tryed to hide the probs.

With tractor ownership comes new freinds and relatives. I was listening to a list from a brother of everything he hoped to do with his brothers new/used tractor! I hate it as he keeps telling his brother his new tractor is broke!

we finally got the last hydro filter off this morning.bent 1 screwdriver.then had another friend come over an help get the filter off.then we blew the rad clean.an blew the air filter clean.so the tractor can breath good now.finally got the hood so it would latch.the nephew wont be using the tractor for a long time coming thats for sure.

Thats why only me and my dad are allowed to drive the tractor, I don't trust anybody on my equipment.

had same exper. on 50 hr. service removing transmission filters on a 7040...made me think that they did not lube filter seals when they were factory installed. am sure you did that to make the next service easier. good work.

oh yes we put some grease on the last filter am hydro oil on the 1st filter.an we know how we tightened them.
