I've just purchased my first tractor (aside from some old 1970's era cub cadets) a *very* used B2410 4WD HST. I stopped at the dealership on the way home and picked up all fluids and filters to do a complete service on it before I use it. I also was able to get a copy of the Operators Manual.
I've got a couple of questions as the whole hydro fluid change process does not seem very clear from the Operators manual.
My first question is - I can't find the "front" transmission" fluid plug. (see pic below) Do I have one? The manual is for several tractors...
My next question is about the the 2 filters on the hydro. One seems to be mentioned by name in the Operators manual (Transmission Oil Filter - pg63) - the other just appears in a picture titled "rear transmission case" - an no real instruction seems to indicate removing it. What is this filter called and what does it do as opposed to the one on the right side of tractor (when operating) - the one next to the strainer?
For the process - I assume I should first drain the fluid via the 2 plugs on the bottom left (when operating tractor) of the transmission? (One looks like it is on the mid-pto output?) Then remove both canister filters? (one on each side) The remove/clean the strainer? Then drain the "front transmission case"?
On page 62 of the Operators guide - it mentions draining the front transmission case - but there is no mention of a filter or how to get fluid back INTO the front case.
When cleaning the strainer - how likely are the o-rings to have issues? The dealer didn't sell me any - but also didn't mention servicing the strainer - I came across that in the manual. I'm trying to device if I should pick a couple up - if they seem to have issues when strainer is removed?
Thanks for any help!
