712S fluid check


RickTenn

Recommended Posts

Just purchased a 712S, and while I am waiting for the owners manual to arrive, how do ya check the fluid in the shuttle trans? It has a plug w/vent toward the top of the unit and a plug in a lil neck towards the bottom of the unit. What kinda lubricant does it require? After reading about the......ah.....complexities of the shuttle, I want to make sure I get off to a good start! Thanks...Rick

Rick Fill trans with 1.5 quarts of SAE 90EP gear lube.Proper level will be to the bottom of neck.While your at it check the bevel gear box,use same gear lube.Gear box will have a dip stick on top or neck on back side.The shuttle clutch also has a dust cap that needs to be taken off of the planetary assembly,squirt grease in around the gears whith grease gun.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
