- Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and change the hydraulic filter every 500 hours. Use a good quality universal tractor hydraulic fluid meeting IH Hy-Tran specifications.
- Fuel System: Regularly check and clean the fuel filter and sediment bowl. Use a fuel stabilizer during seasonal storage to prevent fuel degradation and injector clogging.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the winter, drain the fuel tank (or add fuel stabilizer), change the engine oil, grease all fittings, and disconnect the battery. Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
