Final Drive Oil Change

Postby yellowcub » Sat Mar 05, 2022 10:32 am

I have a 154. I want to do a Final Drive oil change and don't really want to take all of the fenders off, etc. Has anyone just sucked the oil out? I know it is not the best but it would save lots of work

I don’t think that there would be enough room for a hose to get to the bottom.
I just took the tires and the fenders off and pulled the pans. I had the fenders off for something else. I don’t remember if you can pull the pans off with the fenders on or not.

Pull the pans and replace the gaskets. Fenders should be able to stay on if you refill them with a pump.

Just an update. I bought a MightyVac air operated Fluid extractor. The tubing that came with the MightyVac was too big to use so I bought the smallest diameter tubing at the hardware store that was actually red Fuel line. I put the valve near the pump, used a piece of tubing I had to go from the 1/4"ID tubing of the pump to the fuel line , created a vacuum, opened the valves and let it suck all night. The next day, I did the other side. I am guessing, I got about 2 quarts total both sides of 85, 90-140 oil out. I know that it isn't as good as taking the pans off, but I do not have the time to take the fenders off, etc. I have taken them off many times so I know how to do it. The MightyVac has made a job that I would have deferred for
yet another year into a job that was pretty easy.
