Fendt 207, 208, 209, 210, 211 Vario service schedule

1. Raise the linkage and grease the lift shaft and linkage nipples, and the extendable lifting struts where fitted.
2. Grease the trailer hitch: automatic hitch with cylinder-type bolt or ball-type bolt, or the mechanical hitch, whichever you have.
3. Front axle suspension (where fitted): grease the lifting cylinder and the swing arm.
4. Wipe off surplus grease, and oil all other joints and bearings as the handbook says.

Tools: Grease gun, Rag

1. Front power lift (where fitted): grease the lift shaft and linkage.
2. Rear-wheel-drive tractors: grease the left and right steering knuckle bearings.
3. 4WD tractors: grease the double cardan U-joints. Do not lubricate the cardan shaft of the front wheel drive.
4. Rear-wheel-drive hubs: every 2,000 hours a workshop removes the cover and refills with grease.

Tools: Grease gun, Rag

1. Warm the engine to about 80 °C, park on level ground and stop the engine. Put the drain tray under the sump.
2. Remove the drain plug and let the oil run out completely. Refit it with a new sealing ring.
3. Clean round the filter, unscrew it and catch the oil. Clean the sealing face, lightly oil the new seal, screw it on until it touches, then another half turn by hand.
4. Fill with 9.0 L through the filler. Run the engine at idle until the warning on the display goes out, check the drain plug and filter for leaks, then stop.
5. After about 5 minutes check the dipstick: the level must be between MIN and MAX (about 2.0 L apart).

Tools: Drain tray (12 L), Filter wrench, Funnel, Gloves

1. Park with the wheels straight ahead on level ground at average front axle load.
2. Measure between the tyres at hub height at the front rim flange, push the tractor forward half a turn of the wheels and measure again at the rear rim flange. The rear measurement should be 0 to 2 mm larger.
3. Adjust the tie rods if not.

Tools: Tape measure, Spanners for the tie rods

1. Warm the oil, lower the linkage and retract all cylinders. Put the tray under the hydraulic reservoir, remove the drain plug and drain.
2. Unscrew the filter cover, change the return line filter with a new O-ring and refit. Unscrew the vent filter and fit a new one (it cannot be cleaned).
3. Refit the cleaned drain plug and fill with clean oil, ideally through a return-flow coupling with a pump so it is filtered. Fill 25 L, run the engine about 1 minute, then add the last 5 L.
4. Check the dipstick with the linkage down and cylinders retracted, oil at about 20 °C: between MIN and MAX.

Tools: Drain tray (35 L), Clean funnel or filling pump with filter

1. Differential: put a tray under it, take out the drain plug and drain fully. Clean and refit the plug. Fill through the level hole until oil runs out.
2. Hubs: jack up the front axle so the wheels turn freely and disengage 4WD. Turn the wheel until the hole is at the bottom, drain, then turn so the hole is on the left with the marker horizontal and fill until it overflows. Refit the plugs.
3. Do the other side. After filling, run the engine at least 5 minutes.

Tools: Drain tray, Spanners, Jack and stands

1. Stop the engine and clean round both filters. No naked flames near the fuel system.
2. Unscrew the main filter cartridge by hand and catch the fuel. Oil the new seal or wet it with diesel, screw it on until it seats, then half a turn more.
3. Prefilter: disconnect the plug, release the tensioning ring and unscrew the cartridge. Wet the seals, fit the new cartridge, tighten half a turn past touching (18 N·m) and refit the ring and plug.
4. Bleed the system: switch the ignition on and let the feed pump run about 30 seconds, then start the engine (starter no more than 10 seconds). Look for leaks.

Tools: Drain tray, Rag, Small container

1. Leave the engine to cool to 50 °C or less.
2. Take off the rocker cover and check each valve with a feeler gauge: 0.35 mm inlet and 0.35 mm exhaust.
3. Adjust where needed, tighten the locknuts and refit the cover with a good gasket. Better left to a Fendt workshop.

Tools: Feeler gauges, Spanners, Torque wrench

1. Release the catch and lift the grille. Take out the prefilter to clean it.
2. Take out the roof fan filter. Blow or tap it clean, or fit a new one at 1,000 hours or if damaged.
3. Undo the clips and replace the recirculating air filter. Take care of the hot blower controller. After spraying, fit a normal filter as soon as possible.

Tools: Compressed air, Screwdriver

1. Run the tractor until the transmission oil is warm. Put the tray under the transmission and remove the drain plugs.
2. Replace the pressure filter element (do not wash it) and refit the housing to 40 N·m. Warning messages tell you when it is dirty, but it must not go past 2,000 hours.
3. Take off the intake filter cover, replace the element, and refit.
4. Fill through the dipstick tube. After filling let the engine run at least 5 minutes so the axle drives fill, then check the level on the dipstick (2.5 L between min and max). After a repair at least 10 L must be put in under pressure.

Tools: Drain tray (30 L), Spanners, Torque wrench

1. Put a tray under the gearbox and remove the drain plug (A) to drain.
2. Refit the plug and pour oil in through the filler hole (B) until it reaches the overflow.

Tools: Drain tray, Spanner

1. Release the clips and take off the cover. Wipe the housing and check the sealing faces.
2. Tap the cartridge with the heel of your hand to loosen dust, or blow it out from the inside with dry air at 5 bar maximum, about 5 cm away. Hold it up to a light to check for splits in the paper or damage to the seal.
3. Replace it if damaged, or after 5 cleanings or 2 years. Change the safety cartridge only on every third main cartridge change, keeping the clean-air side free of dust.
4. Squeeze the dust valve to clear caked dust and fit the cover with the clips correctly seated. Check the intake hoses for leaks.

Tools: Compressed air (5 bar max), Clean cloth

1. With the engine cold, open the filler cap, switch the heater on and put the tray under the engine. Undo the drain screw and let it run out.
2. If the system is dirty with rust or grease, flush it with a hot cleaning solution first, as the handbook describes.
3. Mix new antifreeze with clean water and fill to the mark on the expansion tank. Run the engine for about 10 minutes at about 1,500 rpm with the heater on, let it cool, then top up.
