service intervals ym2000

I know I need to buy owners manual for my tractor, but here goes can you tbn'ers tell me how often to change the oils and filters and other important items. I have 35 hours on the tractor since I bought it and went through what I thought needed done. I figured it was probably time to do it again just to keep the internals clean. Thanks for the help.

I change the air filter when I can no longer see light through it, change the oil and filter when it gets black, change the fuel filter when it gets dirty or hard to blow through, and will probably change the hy/tran fluid if I see any sign of contamination or any sign that pickup screen needs cleaning, such as squealing or erratic operation. Drain and flush cooling system when overflow bottle gets muddy.

Here is the interval for my YM1500

Air Filter:
Clean every 100 hrs
Replace every 600 hrs

Change fuel filter every 100 hrs

Change oil & filter every 100 hrs

Change transmission oil every 300 hrs

Change front axle oil (4wd) every 300 hrs.

The reality is that I clean (blow out) the air filter, change the oil, oil filter and fuel filter in the spring reguardless of the hours.

I changed the transmission and front axle oil when I bought it two years ago and it looks as clean as the day I put it in. I may never change it again unless it starts looking dirty or the hydraulics start giving me problems.
