Repair guides
- Transmission or hydraulic filter warning lamp: filter changes between oil changes (Moderate, 1–1½ hours): Transmission or hydraulic filter warning lamp, slow lift, sluggish hydraulics, or a newly bought tractor with no service history.
- Low brake or clutch fluid, soft pedal: use the correct oil (not DOT fluid) (Moderate, 1 hour): Brake or clutch reservoir low, long or spongy pedal, warning lamp, or the 2-year fluid change is due.
- Charging or cooling trouble: drive belt tension and condition (Easy, 30 minutes): Squealing belt, battery not charging, engine running hot, or a worn or cracked belt.
The full step-by-step guides are in Farmyard Workshop once you add your tractor.
