300 hr service went smoothly, but a few interesting notes. Maybe someone can shed light on why wood chips were in my hydraulic line close to and inside filter. I used needle nose to remove from end of line and shop vac to attempt to suck any remaining debris.

front axel gear oul was also done, ans filling took 1/2 of what was called for. Less than a gallon total. I had it running out if the vent plug. I will check again after running an hour and see if more will go in.

Wood chips? Filler cap/breather cap missing? Used tractor and seller was 'tightening things up with wood chips?

Both vents on each bevel opened? I neglected to open both and was puzzled why it took less until i re-read the manual.
