Service jobs and parts

Engine oil and filter change

Engine · every 500 hours or every year

John Deere says replace the oil filter after the first 100 hours. If Plus-50 II oil and a genuine John Deere filter are used the interval may be extended to 500 hours. The sheet gives no shorter figure, so check your handbook for ordinary oil. The oil is always changed with its filter.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Engine oil	1	15W-40 Plus-50 II, ≈8.5 L with filter. Aztec Oils match: EMPROTEC EHPD 15W-40	check your handbook
Engine oil filter	1	Genuine John Deere filter, 5075M	RE519626

Step-by-step

Warm the engine, then park on firm level ground, lower the linkage, loader and any implement, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
Let it stand a few minutes. Hot oil burns, so wear gloves.
Remove the sump plug and let the oil drain fully.
Remove the filter, check the old seal came off with it, and wipe the filter head clean.
Smear a little clean oil on the new filter seal and fit it hand-tight as marked on the filter.
Refit the sump plug and fill with the right oil to the full mark on the dipstick.
Run the engine for a minute, check for leaks, stop it and recheck the level.

Tools: Drain tray (20 L), Filter wrench, Spanner or socket for sump plug, Funnel, Gloves, Rags

Fuel filters

Fuel · every 500 hours

John Deere says replace the fuel filter every 500 hours. The 5075M has one filter, not the primary and final pair of the 4.5 L tractors.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Fuel filter	1	5075M	DZ114096

Step-by-step

Stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels. Keep naked flames away.
Clean around the filters before opening anything.
Drain any water from the filter bowl into a container.
Remove the old filter(s) and fit new ones with clean, lightly oiled seals.
Bleed air from the system as your handbook describes. Never slacken high-pressure pipes on a common-rail engine.
Start the engine and check for leaks.

Tools: Container for fuel, Filter wrench, Gloves, Rags

Cab air filters

Cab · every 600 hours or every year

John Deere says clean the cab fresh-air and recirculation filters every 600 hours, annually and as required. Replace them if they will not come clean.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Cab fresh-air filter	1	Or SJ14010 (in carbon set SJ14288)	RE198488
Cab recirculation filter, with air conditioning	1		RE195491
Cab recirculation filter, without air conditioning	1		R198887

Step-by-step

Stop the engine and take the key out.
Open the filter covers and take out the elements, wearing a dust mask.
Tap or blow clean filters from the clean side, or fit new ones if the sheet says replace.
Refit them the right way round and check the covers seal.

Tools: Screwdriver, Dust mask

Transmission and hydraulic filter

Transmission · every 600 hours

John Deere says replace the hydraulic filter after 100 hours and then every 600 hours. The sheet gives no oil change interval, so this is a filter-only task.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Hydraulic filter	1		SJ11784

Step-by-step

Park on firm level ground, lower the linkage, loader and any implement, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
With the engine off, work the hydraulic levers to relieve pressure. Let hot oil cool before you start; it burns.
Clean around each filter, remove it and catch the oil.
Fit the new filter(s) with lightly oiled seals.
Run the engine briefly, stop, check for leaks and top up with Hy-Gard to the mark.

Tools: Drain tray, Filter wrench, Gloves, Rags

Fit the new element, check it seats evenly and close the housing.

Fill with Hy-Gard, run the engine, work the hydraulics through their full travel, lower everything and recheck the level.

Tools: Large drain tray (70 L), Spanners, Filter wrench, Pump or funnel, Gloves

Diesel particulate filter (DPF): dealer service

Exhaust · when needed

The 5075M has a DPF. John Deere says see your dealer for service; the sheet gives no hour interval.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Diesel particulate filter	1	5075M. Dealer service	DZ104592

Step-by-step

Watch the display for exhaust filter warnings and let regenerations finish.
If the warning stays on, book DPF service with a John Deere dealer.
Keep clear of the exhaust until it has cooled; it runs very hot, especially after a regeneration.

Tools: Dealer service tool

Front axle and hub oil change (MFWD)

Front axle · when needed

The front axle has its own Hy-Gard in the housing and wheel hubs. John Deere's sheet gives the quantities but not an interval, so check your handbook.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Hy-Gard oil	1	UTTO tractor transmission oil. John Deere Hy-Gard. Housing ≈5 L, ≈0.8 L per hub. Aztec Oils match: AGRITEC UTTO	check your handbook

Step-by-step

Park on firm level ground, lower the linkage, loader and any implement, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.

Drain the axle housing and both hubs.
Refit the plugs and fill the housing and each hub to its level plug with Hy-Gard.

Tools: Drain tray, Spanners, Oil pump or squeeze bottle

Coolant replacement

Cooling · when needed

Cool-Gard II protects against freezing, corrosion and liner pitting but wears out. The sheet gives the quantity but not an interval, so check your handbook and test the coolant every year.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Coolant	1	Cool-Gard II coolant (ethylene-glycol antifreeze). ≈15 L (cab) or ≈13 L (open station)	check your handbook

Step-by-step

Only work on a cold engine; the cooling system is under pressure when hot.
Drain the system from the radiator and engine drain points into a clean tray.
Flush with clean water, refit the drains and refill with the right Cool-Gard mix.
Run the engine up to temperature, let it cool and top up the level.

Tools: Drain tray, Hose, Coolant test strips
