only 26 hrs in 1 year

[djt]

I bought a LB1914 about a year ago, and only have 26 hours on it. I would guess that I will be around 50 hours about springtime. Should I change the oil and/or any fluids, or should I wait till I get to 50 hours? Thanks

I would change the engine oil and filter before the winter. A year is a long time for the original engine oil to be left in.

I agree with Bearhawk, the oil and filter should be changed on an annual basis or the hours prescribed in the ops manual (whichever comes first).

If you live in an area with climate changes, you will be amazed how much moistrue form condensation can collect in a tractors transmission housing. yes annual changes are best.

I agree with the others, change the oil (and filters, if necessary) yearly.

Yes, change the engine oil. The other fluids can be changed when the hours require it. The antifreeze should be changed about every 4-5 years or so.

Thanks for the replies. I will be changing the oil and filter soon.

It is a shame. Been working way to much and still trying to figure out what impliments to get. The good news is I did add another 3 hours to it on Sunday.
