7.13.1.3 Lubricant
The drive wheel gearbox lubricant should be
changed after the first 50 hours. Check the level
every 200 hours or annually, and change lubricant
every 1000 hours.
The windrower should be on level ground when
checking lubricant level.
a. Check the lubricant as follows:
1. Rotate wheel so that plug (A) is located at the
top as shown.
2. Remove plug (B). The lubricant should be
visible through the hole or slightly running out.
NOTE
Type of lubricant used after first lubricant
change is different from factory supplied
lubricant.
b. If lubricant needs to be added, remove plug (A),
and add lubricant until lubricant runs out at (B).
Prior to first change, use SAE 85W-140, API
Service, Class GL-5, Extreme Pressure Gear
Lubricant.
After first change, use SAE 75W-90, API Service,
Class GL-5, Fully Synthetic Transmission
Lubricant (SAE J2360 preferred).
c. Replace plugs and tighten.
d. Change the lubricant as follows:
1. Rotate the wheel so that plug (A) is located at
the bottom.
2. Place a large enough container (about 2
quarts U.S. (2 litres) under the drain plug (A).
3. Remove plugs (A) and (B), and drain
lubricant. Ideally, the lubricant should be at
operating temperature for good draining.
4. When lubricant has drained, rotate wheel so
that plug (A) is at the top.
NOTE
Type of lubricant used after first lubricant
change is different from factory supplied
lubricant.
5. Add lubricant through (A) until lubricant runs
out of hole at (B). Use SAE 75W-90, API
Service, Class GL-5, Fully Synthetic
Transmission Lubricant (SAE J2360
preferred). Drive wheel gearbox capacity is
1.5 qts. U.S. (1.4 litres).
