While you have the belly screen off, also grease the U-joints on the drive shaft.

does anyone know the part number to the clear line he was pointing too to check the oil level? i have a 316 and the line broke so it needs replaced.

Great video. Is there a washer on the drainplug?

[@outdoorpowerhouse]

Thanks! There is no washer on the plug.

The for the video, I have the 332 diesel model. It’s a tank.

[@outdoorpowerhouse]

I'd love to have a 332. I don't see too many around here though.

@@outdoorpowerhouse it was my wife’s grandfathers tractor that he bought new in the late 80’s and it’s mowed the same 1.5 acres for over 30 years. We own the property now and the tractor is still holding its own.

I thought it was 1.2 gallons

The video shows what it took for me. Depending on factors like if you change the filter, let it fully drain it may vary for you. I’d recommend watching the sight glass as I show in the video to avoid overfilling.
