Single-barrel carburetor, requiring precise adjustment.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50 operating hours or annually.
Air Filter Service:
Check and clean at 25 operating hours, replace as needed.
Fuel Filter Replacement:
Recommended annually or every 100 operating hours.
Transmission Oil Change:
Typically every 200 operating hours or biennially.
Engine Oil Type:
SAE 30W API CD or SG service classification gasoline engine oil (check manual for exact specs).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
IH Hy-Tran or equivalent universal tractor transmission fluid (UTTF) (check manual for exact specs).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze (50/50 mix with distilled water).
Carburetor Issues:
