57.10.1.3 Lubricant

The drive wheel gearbox lubricant should be
changed after the first 50 hours. Check the level
every 200 hours or annually and change every
1000 hours. The windrower should be on level
ground when checking lubricant level.

a. Check the lubricant as follows:

1. Rotate wheel so that plug (A) is located at

the top as shown.

2. Remove plug (B). The lubricant should be

visible through the hole or slightly running
out.

NOTE

Type of lubricant used after first lubricant
change is different from factory supplied
lubricant.

b. If lubricant needs to be added, remove plug (A),

and add lubricant until lubricant runs out at (B).
Prior to first change, use SAE 85W-140, API
Service, Class GL-5, Extreme Pressure Gear
Lubricant. After first change, use SAE 75W-90,
API Service, Class GL-5, Fully Synthetic
Transmission Lubricant (SAE J2360 preferred).

c. Replace plugs and tighten.

d. Change the lubricant as follows:

1. Rotate the wheel so that plug (A) is located

at the bottom.

2. Place a large enough container (about 2

quarts U.S. (2 liters) under the drain plug
(A).

3. Remove plugs (A) and (B) and drain

lubricant. Ideally, the lubricant should be at
operating temperature for good draining.

4. When lubricant has drained, rotate wheel so

that plug (A) is at the top.

NOTE

Type of lubricant used after first lubricant
change is different from factory supplied
lubricant.

5. Add lubricant through (A) until lubricant runs

out of hole at (B). Use SAE 75W-90, API
Service, Class GL-5, Fully Synthetic
Transmission Lubricant (SAE J2360
preferred). Drive wheel gearbox capacity is
1.5 qts. U.S. (1.4 liters).
