MAINTENANCE
PTO Gear Box (If Applicable)
Checking PTO Gear Box Fluid
Tip: Periodic inspection of the gearbox fluid is not needed. Visually
inspect the gearbox for fluid leaks. If any leak is suspected, then
check fluid level.
Check the PTO gear box fluid as outlined in the Periodic
Maintenance Chart beginning on page 78.
The PTO gear box requires
special synthetic fluid. Use
only recommended fluid in
the PTO gear case. See page
109.
Stop the machine on a flat
level surface. Put the gear
selector in Park, stop the
engine and exit the vehicle.
See page 41.
To check the fluid level,
the breather tube fitting
(Item 1) must be
removed and the fluid
level check through the
fitting opening. This
port must be used for
checking the fluid level
as the other plug in the
top cover is positioned
over a gear so there is no
access to the bottom of the gear case.
To check the fluid level, use the T40
wrench (Item 2) that is included in the
tool kit (or an equivalent tool) and a
piece of tubing that fits snuggly over the
tool. Mark the tool at two places; at 0.43
inches (11 mm) and at 2.17 inches (55
mm). Slide a piece of tubing over the
tool to use as a stop and set it at the 2.17
inches (55 mm) mark. The correct oil
level is between the tip of the tool and
the 0.43 inches (11 mm) mark. If the oil level is low, add fluid.
See page 110 for fluid specifications Do not overfill.
If the fluid level is above the
mark, it may indicate that
moisture has been ingested
into the oil and has contami-
nated the oil. If moisture is
present, replace the fluid. Also,
if moisture is present, check
the breather tube to make sure
it is in the correct location. If
the breather tube has been
allowed to hang down, water
can enter the breather tube and be sucked into the gear case.
Install the fitting (Item 1) and place the end of the breather
tube (Item 3) in the cross member that is behind the operators
seat.
