We have checklists that we go through on all our vehicles and tractors. Depending on what we find wrong, it can take anywhere from 4 hours to a couple days to completely service each vehicle, truck, or tractor. Every filter we replace on a tractor we write the date and the hours on the tractor. I serviced the below tractor on 3/14/14. I marked the filter accordingly...
Below is a picture of all the stuff that I replaced on my farm pickup. I replaced the spark plugs, air filter, oil filter, fuel filter, front, and back brakes.
When I went to change the transmission filter I hit a snag. The GM engineer that designed the transmission failed. In order to drop the transmission oil pan you have to take off the front drive shaft for the 4 wheel drive and a bracket that holds the shifting cable.
The bracket is pretty much impossible to take off. So we decided to have our local dealership change the filter for us. Apparently, I'm not the only one who dislikes this design. When the dealership went to take off the oil pan they broke a relay inside the transmission...
