Lubrication
WARNING
Before lubricating, repairing or inspecting, always
disengage PTO, set parking brake, stop engine and remove
key to prevent unintended starting.
Using a quality lubricating oil, lubricate all lubrication points.
Refer to Maintenance Schedule chart located in this manual for
proper service intervals.
LUBRICATING PIVOT POINTS & LINKAGE
Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system, parking brake
and lift linkage per the Maintenance Chart.
NOTE: It is not necessary to grease the steering pinion/sector gear
interface. Doing so will allow dirt to accumulate and can affect
steering performance.
REAR WHEELS
The rear wheels should be removed from the axles once a season.
Lubricate the axles and the rims with an all-purpose grease
before re-installing them.
FRONT AXLES (IF EQUIPPED)
Each end of the tractor’s front pivot bar may be equipped with
a grease fitting. Lubricate with a No. 2 multi-purpose grease
applied with a grease gun per the Maintenance Schedule. See
Figure 27.

Turn the oil drain valve 1⁄4-turn counter-clockwise, then
pull outward to begin draining oil. After the oil has finished
draining, push the end of the oil drain valve back in and
turn 1⁄4-turn clockwise to close the oil drain. Re-cap the
end of the oil drain valve to keep debris from entering the
drain port.

instructed in the Engine Operator’s Manual.
8. Reinstall the oil fill cap/dipstick.
NOTE: Place an absorbent towel beneath the oil filter to keep oil
off the engine pulley.
NOTE: Observe proper disposal laws and regulations for gas, oil,
etc. to protect the environment.
NOTE: Maintenance, repair or replacement of the emission
control devices and systems which are being done at the owner’s
expense may be performed by any engine repair establishment
or individual. Warranty repairs must be performed by an
authorized dealer.
OIL DRAIN SLEEVE MODELS
To complete the oil change, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine for a short time to warm the engine oil. The
oil will flow more freely and carry away more impurities. Use
care to avoid burns from hot oil.
2. Open the tractor’s hood and locate the oil drain port on the
side of the engine.
