B6200 Transmission Fluid Change Questions

[DJPatto]

Hi all,

So Im doing my first service since getting my B6200. I have drained the transmission oil via 3 drain plugs. One on the mid PTO and two on the axles. As in the attachment. Is this all of the drain plugs? There seems to be fluid still where the filter goes and it wont drain away is this normal? Unfortunately my WSM hasn't arrived yet



Also I have removed the strainers and there was a small amount of fine metal flakes. Is this normal wear and tear or signs of failure?

My B6100 had metal fillings around the strainer also. I used a magnetic pickup tool to reach in and get all I could.

Thanks Jon, I will pick up a magnetic pickup tool tomorrow to remove more if I can.

Did the oil sit in where the filter sites like my photos?

I can't respond to the oil under the filter. My B6100 is a manual drive.

I did mine yesterday and yes there was some fluid sitting up there, same as your photo. I mopped it up a little and spun on the new filter. Tom
