1. Book the tractor into a Deutz-Fahr or SAME workshop. The handbook says these are workshop-only jobs.

1. Warm the oil by working the tractor. Put the tray under the gearbox and take out the drain plug. The lift housing and hydrostatic steering use the same oil, so drain them too.
2. Replace the filters, refit the plug and fill through the filler above the lift housing until the level sight glass or dipstick shows full.
3. Check the level with the engine running at idle and the lift (and front lift if fitted) fully down.

Tools: Drain tray (50 L or more), Spanners, Clean funnel

1. Drain the differential and hubs and refit the plugs.
2. Fill to the level holes and check the levels again after a short run.

Tools: Drain tray, Spanners

1. With the engine cold, open the radiator drain cock and expansion tank cap (release pressure slowly) and drain the system.
2. Close the drain, refill with the new mix, run the engine for a few minutes and top up once it has cooled to the middle of the expansion tank.

Tools: Drain tray (15 L), Funnel

1. When the lamp comes on, release the cover and take out the main cartridge. Never run without the safety cartridge.
2. Blow it clean from the inside out with dry air and hold it to a light to check for splits.
3. Fit a new main cartridge once a year or after 6 cleanings, and a new safety cartridge after 3 cleanings. Check the dust valve and the hoses.

Tools: Compressed air (dry, low pressure), Clean cloth
