First engine oil/filter, fuel filter change on my B3200 for me. I've put close to 50hrs on it since I took delivery and yes the manual says I can wait on these services, I'd like to get in the cycle of an engine service once a year and transmission/hydraulics every 2 yrs or as called for by hours. I did the air filters this spring so I am good there for now. The dealer did a complete service on all fluids/filters before I took delivery at 90hrs right before it was traded in.

Does anyone have any tips/ tricks on either the oil or fuel filter change for a B3200? I am not running a belly mower or a back hoe so I have the underside fairly open. I do have a FEL. Does it need to come off or can I work around it?

Appreciate the insight.

John, the FEL can stay on but it might get in the way for a few things.

Thanks mickeyd. I will try this first one with the FEL on and go from there.

Appreciate your service to our Nation as well.
