Did You Know? - Proper Pivot Shaft Maintenance This week, Trainer Jared took the opportunity to explain proper maintenance and oil check procedures on a D9R.
Hi, Folks. Note to Jared: "Are you ABSOLUTELY, 100% dead certain that the dipstick that you pulled to check the oil level for the track frame pivots is the RIGHT one??????" In the D9N and the D9T, the models either side of the D9R, that dipstick is the transmission oil level check. The RESERVOIR for the oil for the track frame pivots is contained in the plastic tank between the transmission dipstick and the battery disconnect switch in that same compartment - and it does not have a dipstick. You check the level by removing the cap and looking into the plastic tank. Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
