Message: <blockquote data-quote="skidsteer.ca" data-source="post: 14673" data-attributes="member: 307">There is nothing to hard here. The recomended service intervals are on a sticker inside the tailgateEngine oil is every 200 hours I believe (maybe 250, see sticker), or once a year. Filter is on the tailgate side of the engine. Fuel filter is on the aluminum bracket below the engine oil filter, change as needed, Just before freeze up is a good idea. Air filters are serviced when the dash warning indicates its needed.  There is a hydraulic filter on the rh top side inside the tailgate,Hydraulic oil is changed every 1000 hours. Drain the reservoir and refill. (you have to remove a hose to do this on my 2000 model 773)Chain case has a level  plug on the front of the machine just above where the tie down loop is. Sometime they get water in them from a loose cover on the top side. Look for creamy colored oil.There are 2     3/4" wrench size nuts in the vary front corners of the cab (one on each side) remove these and tilt the cab up and back. Under here is 2 grease nipples on the steering lever pivots. and a oil level on the aluminum 90 degree gear box that drives the cooling fan from a V belt off the engine. Check the level of the 80/90 gear oil in this gear box. Also check the spring loaded tensioner on the V belt, they stick  sometimes and the belt begines to slip causing high water temps.Also there is a spring loaded belt tensioner on the main drive belt (under a plastic cover on the LH side of the engine) it runs from the flywheel to your hydraulic and hydrostactic pump (note these pumps are combined in the same unit) There should be a indicator on the idler of this tripple v belt. The indicator point to 3 oclock when the spring tensioner is would up tight, and works it way back to 1 oclock as the belt wears. These usually don't need adjusted often (200 to 400 hours) but it is good to inspect the belt for cracks at oil change intervals. If it gets too loose the belt will squeal when your pushing hard and lifting (as this demands the most power from the pumps)Wix filters are as good as anybodys.I may have forgot something but thats the jist of it.We also new Tracks Plus and McLaren  tracks and carry the Erskine and Ati line of attachments.
