Air Filter Service:
Regular inspection and cleaning, replacement as needed based on operating conditions.
Engine Oil Specification:
Typically a 15W-40 or 20W-40 heavy-duty diesel engine oil (API CD or higher, manual to confirm exact spec).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid:
Often a UTF (Universal Tractor Transmission Fluid) or dedicated hydraulic oil (e.g., Case IH MS-1207 or equivalent, manual to confirm).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze (typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water).
Common Wear Items:
Clutch wear, hydraulic seal leaks, PTO clutch engagement issues, and potential for injector pump calibration over time.
Electrical Gremlins:
Older wiring harnesses can degrade, leading to intermittent electrical faults.
