My neighbor bought a little McCormick hydro. I am helping him to service it. The tractor is 6 years old with 560 hours on it.
The manual called out a service regiment that has not been followed.
I know engine oil was changed last fall and it looked pretty good.
The hydraulic filters were supposed to be changed at 200 hours, the fluid was supposed to be changed at 400 hours. It did not smell super, and was a little dark. We changed both of those tonight. There was also more metal on the magnets than I would like to see.
There were several grease zerks that would not take, down to 2 now.
Will change the antifreeze and put in new thermostat next.
