| I apologize ahead of time. This may be a very dumb question. Yes I do have a service manual. This is why I feel dumb asking the question. I often wonder if I'm missing pages. It's not an original. Where do you check the rearend fluid level on a 220? I check the transmission and hydraulic level by my left foot when sitting in the seat. There is also a fill port up by the brakes but I haven't found where to check the rearend. Thanks. |

entire rear end assembly oil fill and level check is by your left heel when seated. This is on 210/220. D21 did have a fill port on the transmission, some very early 220's may also have had the plug there, but the dipstick checks it's level. ------------- 210 "too hot to farm" puller, part of the "insane pumpkin posse".

| Thanks for the reply, the book shows that dipstick is for the transmission/hydraulic so you are saying this dipstick is for transmission, hydraulic and rearend? Just trying to make sure I understand what you are telling me. Thanks. |

| If you feel rich and going to change oil, clean hydraulic screen between bull gears while oil is out. MACK |

Shouldn't they take care of themselves? Don't remember anything special when I did my 220 30yrs ago. WOW! did I say that out loud!? Maybe time for another change?

I think he means draining them. There's 5 drain plugs on those I think. Before pulling out the screen in the center, make sure you have the flat seal ring on hand though. Mine has been a problem trying to seal it back up though. I also changed the hoses on the suction pipe. ------------- 210 "too hot to farm" puller, part of the "insane pumpkin posse".

| HA! I kept and cleaned seal ring but it don't seal. Very slow drip. No good farmer way to get on that hex to tighten. I would suggest building or buying a "socket" to put a big lever on to tighten it. Once the fluid is in you're screwed. |

| Would a "service manual" give the same info as an operator/owner manual? Just thinking a service manual wouldn't go into "maintenance" ? |

Operator manual tells how to "use" it,what does what,adjustments,etc......Service tells you how to repair it. My 220 and 8070 service manuals are VERY GOOD. Step by step and details. service intervals are in operator manuals(maintenance)
