As the title states, I bought a 2012 Cat 242b3 with 720 hours on the meter. It was an expensive purchase and I know it was a rental machine at one point in its career. I am looking to do as much general maintenance myself to try and save some money. Just wondering what kinds of things I may be missing in my list below: 1. Clean / replace air filter 2. Change motor oil and oil filter 3. Replace fuel filter 4. Grease all pivot points (plan to do this every 5-10 hours) The machine had a hydraulic leak when I bought it so the Hydro fluid has pretty much all been replaced with new fluid. Any other things that I should be paying attention to or servicing? Thanks in advance guys!

You didnt mention the hydraulic oil filter.
The other thing to do would be the chain case, it is often over looked.
