Changing the Engine Oil

NOTE: The oil filter should be changed at every oil change
interval. To complete an oil change, proceed as follows:
1. Run the engine for a few minutes to allow the oil in the
crankcase to warm up. Warm oil will flow more freely and
carry away more of the engine sediment which may have
settled at the bottom of the crankcase. Use care to avoid
burns from hot oil.
2. Open the tractor's hood and locate the oil drain port on the
right side of the engine.
