Changing the Engine Oil and Filter

1. While engine is still somewhat warm take out drain plugs and drain oil

2. Put plugs back in

3. Remove old oil filter (be careful as oil will drain from filter)

4. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the rubber seal of the new filter

5. Tighten filter until it touches the mounting surface

6. Tighten filter an additional ¾ turn by hand

7. When a new filter is installed, engine oil typically decreases a little. Ensure that oil does not leak through the seal of the filter, then refill oil as needed.

Change oil and filter after first 50 hours and every 100 subsequent hours under normal conditions. If operating under sever conditions change every 70 hours after the first change.

Draining the Fuel Filter

1. Ensure that there is fuel in the tank

2. Close fuel shutoff valve (so that the handle is pointing towards the “C”)

3. Take fuel sediment bowl off

4. Open fuel shutoff valve and allow it to flow until only fuel is flowing from the filter base, no water

5. Close shutoff valve

6. Reattach fuel sediment bowl

7. Open fuel shutoff valve

8. Bleed fuel system

Drain fuel filter after every 100 hours of use

Changing the Fuel Filter

1. Close fuel shutoff valve (so that the handle is pointing towards the “C”)

2. Take fuel sediment bowl off by rotating the retaining nut

3. Open fuel shutoff valve and allow it to flow until only fuel is flowing from the filter base, no water

4. Install new fuel element

5. Check the two O rings for any damage and replace them as needed

6. Install the spring between the bottom of the fuel filter and the sediment bowl

7. Reattach the sediment bowl

8. Open fuel shutoff valve (so that the handle is pointing towards the “O”)

9. Bleed fuel system

Replace fuel filter after the first 50 hours of use, and then after every 200 subsequent hours

Bleeding the Fuel System

Fuel system needs to be bled for the following reasons:

• System has been drained

• Filter has been replaced

• Tractor has run out of fuel

• Fuel lines have been disconnected

• Injection pump has been replaced

To bleed fuel system:

1. Ensure that there is fuel in the tank

2. Open shutoff valve (so that the handle is pointing towards the “O”)

3. Open the bleed screw on the fuel pump

4. Close bleed screw when air-free fuel begins to flow

5. Put throttle in the highest speed position

6. Turn engine over for a few seconds

Bleeding the Injector Lines

Injector lines need to be bled for the following reasons:

• Tractor has run out of fuel

• Injectors have been replaced

• Injection pump has been removed

To bleed injector lines:

1. Loosen injector line fittings at the injectors

2. Push hand throttle to highest speed position

3. Crank engine until air-free fuel flows from each connection (do not crank engine continuously for more than 30 seconds)

4. Tighten fittings to 18-22 ft-lbs (24-29Nm) of torque

If air remains in the system, repeat the above steps

Changing the Air Cleaner Elements

TC48DA – PIN#'s before HV11312
TC55DA – PIN #'s before HX12681

Outer Element

1. Remove wing nut and air cleaner cover (end cap)

2. Pull outer element out of assembly

3. Clean loose dirt from element

4. Check the end of the canister for dirt

5. Blow compressed air (under 30psi) from the inside of the filter to clean it

6. Check inner diameter seals for damage (if damaged, replace element)

7. Push primary element back into canister and reinstall end cap by pushing it towards the canister, and rotating clockwise

Inner Element

1. Remove air cleaner cover and outer element to expose the inner element

2. Put a light inside the element. If little or not light shines through, the element is clogged. In this case it must be replaced.

3. Push element into canister, and reinstall outer element and cover

Element needs to be replaced after every third primary element cleaning, or after every 1000 hours, whichever comes first

Changing the Air Cleaner Elements

TC48DA – PIN #'s at or above HV11312
TC55DA – PIN #'s at or above HX12681

Outer Element

1. Remove air cleaner cover

2. Pull outer element out of assembly

3. Clean loose dirt from element

4. Check the end of the canister for dirt

5. Blow compressed air (under 30psi) from the inside of the filter to clean it

6. Check inner diameter seals for damage (if damaged, replace element)

7. Put a light inside the element to look for holes in the paper, or bonding of the paper to the end plate (if above damage is found; replace element)

8. Push primary element back into canister and reinstall

9. Clamp air cleaner cover into place

Outer element needs to be cleaned after every 100 hours of use under normal conditions. Clean more often if operating in excessively dusty conditions.

Inner Element

1. Remove air cleaner cover and outer element to expose the inner element

2. Put a light inside the element. If little or not light shines through, the element is clogged. In this case it must be replaced.

3. Push element into canister, and reinstall outer element and cover

Element needs to be replaced after every third primary element cleaning, or after every 1000 hours, whichever comes first

Changing the Transmission, Rear Axle, and Hydraulic System Oil
