Great tutorial. Accurate, to the point, and not long winded. I did this during my 400-hour maintenance on my 3025e. The manual calls for front axle lube change at 600 hours, but all 3 plugs had a significant deposit of metal dust goo, each the size of the one you show at 7:40. so 400 hours is not too soon. I found that using a flexible tube funnel like the Delphos made filling easy. I just tied the funnel so the end was in the fill hole and could vent which also put the funnel at a good height. Did this on all three fill points, Hyd, Engine and axle, easy to control the flow this way. So, Thanks for taking the time to do these, this video and the 50-hour ones were a huge help to me. The brake linkage advice was right on.
There is a company that makes a vented aluminum dip stick with a nipple for a 1,4 inch hose, I recently saw on RUclips believe it was made by a company called Otis, I recently got the same tractor as yours December 2023 it's quite the work horse keep the videos coming

I have wondered why JD didn't put a vent in myself, axles really need it. JD makes a fill cap with a built in vent, as does aftermarket.
Very useful thank you!
I thought they had vents... thought they were right above the pivot kind of hidden... but I may be wrong.
