Branson 4020 Basic Maint Q\'s
Hello Everyone.
I purchased my 4020 about 1 year ago after reading many, many post on this site - thank you all. I found a good local dealer who made me a great deal - as I have come to find out it was a "going out of business deal". He is gone and the next dealer is far away and I am sure has no sympathy for me.
I now have the first 50 hours on the tractor and need to complete my fluid and filter change. With the help of posting's here I have my WIX filters and associated fluids.
My questions were not answered by the manual, which showed no reference to the items I have q's about; 1st is -
why are there 2 oil fill caps under the hood? The first is top of the head, just like a car, the other is to the front and off to the side with a tube that goes up to the Turbo (4020 is 3cyl turbo I'm sure you know). - Whats the second cap just labeled "oil" for?
Second, to replace the hydo oil in the rear - do I fill from the little orange plug marked "oil" in the back of the tractor by the external hydraulics? or is there some other area to fill from? I do not see any area with a painted bolt to drain from either, but I suspect finding the drain will not be too hard to do.
Also, what is the white tank with the black cap next to the fuel tank with a cap labeled "oil"?
Thank you all very much for the help.
