John Deere 302a hydraulic drain location?

Danprice · Jul 4, 2015

I need to drain the hydraulic fluid on my JD 302a back hoe. Where is the drain? My back is a bit wrecked and climbing around it is a bit tough. Also how do you do a complete flush? There will still be fluid in the lines. Thanks.

Drain plugs are parts key 19. It is very difficult to get fluid out of all hyd components( pumps,valves & cyl's) short of several oil changes and cycling components between oil changes.

The where, what and whens are well illustrated and described in the operators manual.
The nice folks at 1-800-522-7448 have replacement manuals on CD and hard copy.
Parts book is free at the JD web site.

Dang b&d I would have thought your contract for posting JD's 800 phone # had expired by now.

With the slowing down of the farm economy I was thinking JD's "slush fund" was drying up!!! :lol:

Be sure to pull screen and check it while you have fluid out..

Thanks guys. I'm going to go out and look at it right now. I couldn't find a parts list or anything online without
purchase. I plan on getting a manual but that doesn't help me right now. Again thanks.

thanks. It's the big nut under tranny next to the tank bottom thing in the pic? Also I assume when I pull the dipstick
and fluid pours out that it's over full lol. Do you know how much fluid should go back in when I fill it? I'm guessing it's
more than what I've found online as it separates the tractor and the backhoe for some reason.

Can't seem to upload a photo sorry.

New members have to make a few posts before YT moderators allow photo posting privileges. You can email support at ytmag dot com for photo posting permission. Trans/hyd system should hold about 8 gallons of oil. Parts schematics are readily available for free at JDDparts.com.

Are you wanting a free ride ?
