PTO Gearbox (If Applicable)
Checking PTO Gearbox Fluid
3. To check the fluid level, use the T40 wrench that is included in the tool kit (or an
equivalent tool) and a piece of tubing that fits snuggly over the tool.
4. Mark the tool at two places, at 0.43 inches (11 mm) and at 2.17 inches (55 mm).
5. Slide a piece of tubing over the tool to use as a stop and set it at the 2.17 inches (55 mm)
mark.
6. The correct oil level is between the tip of the tool
and the 0.43 inches (11 mm) mark. If the oil level
is low, add fluid. Do not overfill.
7. If the fluid level is above the mark, it may indicate
that moisture has been ingested into the oil and has
contaminated the oil.
8. If moisture is present, replace the fluid. Also, if
moisture is present, check the breather tube to
make sure it is in the correct location.
9. If the breather tube has been allowed to hang
down, water can enter the breather tube and be
sucked into the gearcase.
10. Install the fitting and place the end of the breather
tube in the cross member that is behind the
operator’s seat.
Adding PTO Gearbox Fluid
The PTO gearbox should not require adding fluid. If
the fluid level drops, it would indicate a leak. See your
dealer for repairs.
