How to service a tractor......with a disappointing ending 😬...uh oh!! PROBLEM!
What happens here
If you have a bush hog or similar PTO-driven implement, it will have a gearbox that requires oil changes. Locate the drain plug at the bottom of the gearbox and the fill/level plug on the side or top. Place a drain pan underneath the gearbox. Use a wrench to remove the drain plug and allow the old gear oil to drain completely. Once drained, reinstall and tighten the drain plug. Remove the fill plug. Using a funnel with a flexible hose, slowly pour 80W-90 gear oil into the gearbox through the fill port until it starts to seep out of the fill hole, indicating it's at the correct level. Reinstall the fill plug.
Goal: Replace the gear oil in the bush hog's gearbox.
