I bought my B3030 used with 350 hrs on it. I currently have 400 hrs and just picked up all the filters and crankcase oil for an oil change. The hydralic oil tank holds 19 quarts, and I did not by that today. I am wondering since I do not know the maintenance history of this tractor if I should change the fuild or not? It appears clean. The parts person also mentioned the front axle fluid. So will be changed now to.
Basically I will be changing engine oil, front axle fluid, air filter and fuel filter today. That leaves the 19 quart hydralic system, and the HST system correct? Or is that all the same system? It must be 2 because it has seperate filters. I ordered the service manual today, but it will be 2 weeks to get it.

Not knowing the history I would change the hydraulic oil too.
