To change the oil, first park the tractor on a level surface and turn off the engine. Remove the oil drain plug and allow the old oil to drain completely into a suitable container. Replace the drain plug and fill the engine with new oil, as specified in the owner's manual.
If your tractor won't start, check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the fuel tank has sufficient fuel and that the fuel shut-off valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear and replace if necessary.
The air filter should be inspected before each use and replaced every 100 operating hours or annually, whichever comes first. Operating in dusty conditions may require more frequent replacement.
Refer to the tractor's manual for the recommended tire pressure. Typically, front tires should be inflated to 14-16 psi, and rear tires to 10-12 psi. Always check tire pressure when tires are cold.
Ensure the mower deck is level by adjusting the deck wheels and checking the blade height. Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage, and replace if necessary. Check that the tire pressure is even on both sides of the tractor.
Routinely check the transmission fluid levels and change the fluid every 100 hours of operation or as specified in the manual. Inspect for leaks and ensure the drive belt is in good condition.
To attach implements, align the tractor with the implement and connect using the hitch system. Secure all pins and safety locks. To detach, reverse the process, ensuring the implement is on stable ground before disconnecting.
During regular maintenance, inspect the engine oil and air filter, check tire pressures, inspect belts and blades, and ensure all safety features are functioning. Lubricate moving parts and check battery terminals.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades, loose engine mounts, or debris stuck in the mower deck. Inspect and balance the blades, tighten mounts, and clean the deck.
Clean the tractor thoroughly and remove any debris. Change the oil and add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank. Store the tractor in a dry, covered area and disconnect the battery. Inflate tires to the recommended pressure.
