Maintenance Tips

Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 125-250 hours using a high-quality oil appropriate for diesel or gasoline engines, following John Deere's recommended specifications.
Hydraulic System: Inspect hydraulic fluid levels regularly and replace the hydraulic filter every 500 hours. Use only John Deere Hy-Gard or equivalent hydraulic fluid to prevent damage to seals and internal components.
Fuel System: For diesel models, drain the water separator regularly to prevent water contamination in the fuel system. Use a fuel stabilizer during seasonal storage to prevent fuel degradation and injector clogging. For gasoline models, ensure proper carburetor adjustment.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the winter, drain the fuel tank (especially gasoline models) or add a fuel stabilizer, change the engine oil and filter, grease all fittings, and disconnect the battery. Store the tractor in a dry place, if possible.
