Figure 22 Hydraulic Lift Linkage and P.T.O.

transmission tractors with transmission P.T.O., the engine should be operated at the recommended speed given in the above chart. After determining the recommended engine speed required, proceed as follows:

: Two lubrication fittings are located on the hydraulic pump drive shaft assembly. Refer to the tlLubrication and Maintenance Chart", page 64. Wipe the fittings clean then, using a needle-type nozzle inlet adapter on the grease gun, force in a sufficient amount of good-quality grease (refer to the specifications, page 99) to provide a clean joint.

Warm the engine to operating temperature and then proceed as follows:

1. Remove the engine oil pan sump drain plug, Figure

56

53, and drain and discard the engine oil.

Figure 53 Engine Oil Drain Plug

2. Unscrew the oil fil­ter retaining bolt slowly, Figure 54, catching the used oil in a suitable con­tainer placed below

. the filter body. Re­move the filter body, and discard the filter element, filter body sealing gasket, and retain­

ing bolt gasket.

3. Clean the filter body and install a new filter element. Use a new filter body sealing gasket and retaining bolt gasket, lubricated on all surfaces with clean engine oil. Tighten the retaining bolt securely.
