I forgot about the pump for the 5 gallon pail. I got mine at Tractor Supply also, Traveller brand I think. That definitely makes it much easier to fill the transmission.
It's not a bad job to do other than the one HST filter that sits vertically just under the tractor body. It can be a little tricky to get on and off in such a tight and awkward space.
That also reminds me about the fluid drainage container. 26 quarts, if I remember correctly, fills up a container quick. I have a 24 quart container that works great for the majority of it.
Thx for the help.
I am waiting for the filters, when they get here the Tractor goes on in the Barn after a short run to warm things up and then pull the drain plugs and let it drain for a while.
I need a large container for the Trans Fluid... wondering what height will be needed to fit under the Tractor.
I have a feeling this will be a long draining of the bulk of the trans fluid, I have a standard automotive drain pan, will have to see how many quarts fix... it is a little oversized.
Now I need a low profile drain pan, I will have to measure how much clearance I have and then start looking, maybe tractor supply has one.

Added 1000 hrs: Just purchased from Advance Auto Parts, a 24 Quart Oil Drain Pan, easy pour... 13, 5-Star reviews, nothing bad to say about it; Amazon had decent reviews too !
Hoping it will turn out ok.
Now waiting for Filters and Drain Pan.
Thanks to "
tmcj" for reminding me about a container to drain the 24 quarts Trans Fluid.
