Drained way less than 7 quarts of reddish-brown watery splooge out of the rear end of my 149. Cleaned her all up, got the gearbox for the tiller bolted on and filled it with grease. Spun on a new filter, pumped it full of $15/5 gal "tractor hydraulic fluid" and took it for a ride. Man, what a difference!
One of the rear tires has a leak that I'm planning on fixing with a set of ags. I let it sit and idle for a while. When the tire started to get flat, the tractor started creeping backwards, and hitting the brake pedal made it go backwards faster. Gonna have to take care of that before it causes tractor blight somewhere.
