Jeremey That JD 6400 never got a day off until the last few years. When I would see that the engine oil needed changed I would drain the oil after evening chores. Then after supper I would go back out an change the oil and filter. While I was under the tractor I would check anything I could see. Air filters cleaned every oil change and replaced every other oil change. Sump screens and hydraulic filters changed every 300 hours. Hydraulic oil changed every 600 hours or so.
I will admit to saving the hydraulic oil and letting it set for a few days and then running the top oil through a filter and using it in the older tractors like the 4020 or 3020. Anything without a Wet clutch.
Every Saturday morning everything that is used during the week is greased. Like the loader tractor, feeder wagon, silo unloaders, etc.
All tire pressures get checked the 1st Saturday of each month.
I try to fix anything as soon as I see any excessive wear. I do not let a tractor have a weak/bad battery for very long. That will save you alternators and starters.
Also even on equipment I have owned for years I still read the operators manual once each year. I usually find something I have forgotten or never knew each time I read them.
It really is just paying attention to your equipment and you will "know" when things are not right.

In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
