Maintenance Tips
- Engine Oil & Filter: Change the engine oil and filter every 500 hours of operation, using a high-quality oil that meets John Deere specifications. Be sure to also replace the oil filter with a genuine John Deere filter or a cross-referenced equivalent to ensure optimal engine protection.
- Hydraulic System Maintenance: Inspect the hydraulic fluid level regularly and change the hydraulic fluid and filter every 1000 hours or annually, whichever comes first. Contaminated hydraulic fluid can damage the hydraulic pump and other components.
- Fuel System Care: Use clean, high-quality diesel fuel and replace the fuel filter every 500 hours or as needed. Regularly drain the water separator to prevent water from entering the fuel system, which can cause corrosion and fuel injector problems.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the tractor for the off-season, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, grease all lubrication points, and disconnect the battery to prevent it from draining. Store the tractor in a dry, sheltered location.
