    I just performed the service on our new E60. I ordered the tool from your link and am now looking up the torgue spec. Thanks for posting!

    Manual Impact drivers are a lifesaver for philips screws and allen heads. I use the heck out of my impact driver. Great video. Thanks for posting.

    Thanks for the tip/link on the impact driver. I noticed the first time I went to change the gear oil it was trying to strip. Brand new machine.
    560 hours on my machine, I did change the oil at the recommended interval. Just walked out and noticed I have gear oil all over the ground. It's leaking from somewhere on the "inside" side. This should be fun...

    I change mine every 200 hrs .. it’s cheap maintenance and really saves the wear on the final drive

    Great tips. Must do. Only have transmission oil, for what reason I don't know. Is it the same as gear oil? Thanks.

    is there anything you recommend to flush out the final drive? I bought a used T590 with 2500 hours and the oil was like honey coming out (and not much of it. oil cap is 2 oz) I refilled it and ran it while it was off the ground for a bit and change the oil a few times to clean it out.

      You are doing the right thing. Just flush it with oil a few times and it should be fine. Good luck!

      @@pigslayer106 I would rather have it half full or one quart per side. At 1000 hours it needs to be changed so drain and add 1 quart per side. The oil needs room for expansion and it will also pressurize as it heats and cools. If it doesn't have the room for expansion it could blow internal seals.

      @@tetradgroup ok thanks for the advice. One other question: my T76 took grease in all the fittings except the two at the end of the tilt cylinders where they mount to bucket.
      i took the fittings out and they are clean but when i put them back in, it still wont take grease. any ideas?
