I thought I was careful but using 2.5 gallon jugs instead of the one gallon kind of screwed me up, or at least that's my excuse. I overfilled my HST when I changed fluid on my B2650, dipstick was a couple of inches above full. Sorry if someone already thought of this but I couldn't find it in a search so I thought I would pass my experience on. I got a 60cc syringe and tubing that would fit down the dipstick hole, then I measured the tubing so that the end of the tubing approximately was at the top of the fill mark. Then I suctioned the fluid out of that hole until it quit showing fluid. Of course I checked the level during the procedure to prove my theory. It took a while, probably ten times which was about 1/2 quart, but this method kept me from having to loosen the drain plug and making a mess. I did start by trying to suction the fill hole/reservoir but it was awkward and then this idea popped into my head. Hope this helps someone.
And what a mess I made changing the front differential fluid. That drain plug is so low it took some searching to find a container that would half way work. I used a disposable aluminum pan that I could form but it was still a mess. I think next time I will jack up the tractor a bit until I can get a proper container under the drain plugs. Anybody have a better method?
