Hello, after getting our D14 up and running I'm now going through and trying to change the fluids. My problem is that I don't have an operators manual, and the service manual has been a real pain in trying to find simple things in (probably since they expect you to have an operators manual). I was hoping someone could tell me where the drain and fill locations would be and what fluids would go into them.

my serial number for the tractor is 149-219931

I've gotten the engine taken care of (oil pan drain, and filled at the breather in the engine) but the rest i'm not 100% what each one is. There is a breather on the right side just behind the engine. A plug on the left hand side then a breather just behind that. From what I've gotten from other forum posts is that the right hand side one is possibly the hydraulics, followed by the transmission on the left, and behind that is the differential. The Final Drives each have their own large round plugs, do you just take them out and fill up to their bottom?

If anyone knows were I could get a digital/downloadable copy of the owners manual that would be a huge help (free or have to pay for it, either way works for me). I just prefer digital copies over physical ones which is why I haven't bought one yet but will if I don't find any place this week to download from.

Thank you.

The fluid fill on the right side near about half way between the engine and the operator's area is the hydraulic oil. The drain is a plug 1 1/8 plug in a stamped steel pan with the plug on the left side. There is a hex shaped plug on the left side of the top of the trans cover between the shifter and dash. This is the power director. There is a dipstick attached to it. The large breather on the trans top is the trans and differential. You can use universal tractor hydraulic oil in all areas. The final drives have a pipe plug on each side. Use 80-90 there.

Thank you. That eliminates any worries I had about fluids. With the final drive pipe plugs do I just have to work to get them out, or is there a trick? I tried to remove them earlier but they are in there pretty solid (I don't believe they have been checked in the last 15 years).

Your number 149-219931 is the engine serial #. The tractor serial # is located on the edge of the torque tube just to the rear of the air cleaner. The D14 is a great tractor. Fun to operate. Bob
