Changing the transmission oil and filter on a John Deere 314 garden tractor

Step-by-step video showing the process of removing the cooling tube, draining the oil, replacing the filter, and adding new oil. My model is a JD 314, but the process is similar for other John Deere 300 series garden tractors.

I'm running ATF in my 316, someday soon I need to change the filter. I only seem to use it for tilling the past few years. I have others that I use for mowing. The 316 is the only one that can use the tiller.

great video i think this is the same as my 1978 316 Kohler as you mentioned.

[@Glenn08CRF]

Got a '78 316 w/ Kohler K341! The ol' girl still running! I made the experienced John Deere parts guy how do our local farm dealer refer back to his old textbooks to get the filter number! LOL

big help, thanks so much. I'm about to do the same on my 314

[@Jimidan1000]

Very well done...saved me some money!

You can use Type F transmission fluid, as well. What I use in my 317.

[@FM2191]

Anthony kretowicz Is there a way to know what the tractor is currently using? I read elsewhere not use Type F after the JD hydro fluid had been used. Thanks

[@akretowicz]

Well, type F is reddish in color. JD fluid is almost clear. Mine currently has type F, so that is what I am going to use to change it with.

[@MikeOrazzi]

@@akretowicz Me too in my 316.

I am looking for a favour. I have an older 316 that looks to be configured the same way as yours. I am missing the sight tube and can not determine where the bottom of the tube goes. Could I ask you to get some video of where the line leads on yours if you still have the tractor?

[@garyruhs9466]

Does the 314 also have a screen under the frame to keep grass/leaves/etc out? If so how often do you have to take it off and clean things up?

[@JasonMcGarvey]

Nope, I have to clean the clipping, leaves, etc. after each use.
