John Deere 510 (Lanz)

Alf Roberts · Jun 13, 2019

Anyone happen to know how you change/check hydraulic oil on a John Deere 510 (Lanz) farm tractor. I don't have an owners manual. Shop manual says gear box and final drive hold 31 liters,rear axle housing holds 0.8 liters,and the hydraulic system holds 10 liters. I pulled the plugs on the bottom of the axle and transmission, but I am wondering if the hydraulics fill and drain separately. To the best of my knowledge John Deere bought out Lanz and changed the name of the Lanz 300, 500 and 700 to John Deere 310, 510 and 710.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is a breather,dipstick on the back of the rockshaft housing,to check the hydraulic oil.

Thanks guys, I am a little more familiar with Massey and Ford that use their rear axle for hydraulic oil. It wasn't until I read the repair manual that gave different oil capacities for the rear axle and the hydraulics that I realized they were separate reservoirs. The hydraulic oil looked pretty clean, so I just topped it up. (The transmission and rear axle oil looked like a melted chocolate milk shake)

For my future reference, does the manual say (1)if there is a drain plug for the hydraulics and (2)There is a plug on the left side of the transmission about 4" up from the bottom. Is that a "fill to" plug or is it something else?

Thanks again.
