Workmaster 75 Maintenance

[@G.I.JeffsWorkbench]

Great overview. Glad you mentioned pre-filling the new oil, hydraulic & fuel filters before installing them. Ask any diesel mechanic why this is such an important step. Also good to remind folks about reading their manual. They’re thick for a reason.

[@godsarmy9421]

So, I just want to let you know... my husband and I went out to get us a tractor yesterday... thanks to your great, comprehensive videos, we passed by the green ones and the red ones and headed straight for the blue and bought a 2019 work master t4.75. Husband told the guy nope to the PowerStar and wanted the work master. He told me he felt like he knew it already! Thank you so much. These videos help a whole bunch of people. My husband is a disabled Vet (with traumatic brain injury) and watching you helps him figure things out without bring me in to help... thank you for giving him back his independence... 😊

[@CenTexAg]

Wow! Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad the videos were able to help your husband. I hope the tractor is everything he expects it to be. Best wishes and thank you for your service!!

Thank you very much for all of your videos. I just finished my 50 hour maintenance and this and your transmission filter video were extremely helpful. It's interesting, the transmission filter is not in the manual like you say but the dealership did sell it to me for my 50 hour maintenance. I'm glad I changed it at 50 hours. Similar to as-seen in your transmission filter video, I had some pretty nasty looking sludge come out of mine when I took off the metal shroud and also when I pulled out the metal strainer. I'm surprised they don't include that in the manual but after seeing what I saw I would highly advise anyone to change that filter (yes it's like $70+ dollars - Italian crafstmanship?) at 50 hours. Mine had some gel like sludge in it and I almost wonder if that was from our Texas 100 year freeze. Thanks again for all you post!

Thank you for your videos. We just bought our first tractor.

Chris, you are very good at these vedios.really appreciate your time spent for all the owners of NH WM 55 tractors. You could work for New Holland. It's a pity you had to do it. Anyway it is much appreciated for me in Salisbury, NC. I have subscribed. The oil filter number was what I was after. NH cost is $40.32. Seeya, Burt

[@CenTexAg]

Very kind words Burt! Thank you

[@DarrenCharron]

I just bought a workmaster 25 I plan on doing most of my own service to the tractor as well. I will have to look into what the napa numbers are for this model's filters.

[@davidjarriel5182]

I plan on buying a tractor like this one. Can you do more videos on the tractor harrowing and baling hay, etc. Great video.

[@elisemullins1670]

Changed the oil on my WM75 today - I have owned many tractors and vehicles - this is absolutely the hardest oil change I have ever done! - this video helped a lot! recommend using a black marker to put the date on the top of your filters. need to buy a filter wrench like you have and very long snouted funnel!

[@andrewrimes3446]

What made it especially difficult? I have the 50 hour service coming up and I'm not looking forward to it.

[@DJCocoaPuffz]

I just bought a NH Powermaster 75. I love watching your videos. As a newbie, I think it would be helpful if you posted a video of things you check every time before you run the tractor (for example oil level check, etc).

[@CenTexAg]

Great suggestion. Thank you

[@Objectivetruth9122]

Thank you! Very I’m depth and informative, I have a work master 55 and I’m experiencing clutch issues! Would you do a video on clutch adjustment? Or gear not engaging?

[@redwhiteandbluebonnets8180]

Man this is just what I was looking for, thanks fellow Texan

[@jeffspeir8458]

You have 2 oil drain plugs. The pan is split for the drive shaft, you have to drain both sides.

[@sammysnead9670]

I have a Case 75A. It's the same tractor. The driveshaft does not split the oil pan. The oil pan is also flat with only one drain plug. Everyone says they have two drain plugs. I have yet to figure out where this second plus is....

[@tonydalicandro-d1n]

How do you keep things clean changing oil filter with it upside down. Is there a special way to remove. It's easy to access, only old oil in filter will pour out onto side of engine. Thanks for video and maintenance information l

[@CenTexAg]

You really can’t

[@jessmorris2243]

FYI, my Powerstar manual has both of the hydraulic filters to be changed every 300 hours. While the engine oil and filter is every 600. I think the hydraulic oil is 1200 hours.

[@CenTexAg]

Thanks for sharing Jess

[@cmriders3474]

if you use the air compressed for pull out the vacuum, it not go outside bud rest in the cab. you should use the vacuum cleaner

[@karensevern]

Glad I figured out that the Farmall 75a is the same beast! Having a heckuva time with the oil filter... until I saw your pliers. Im still trying to figure out why in heck the oil filter is upside down (or is it downside up1?). What a guaranteed way to get oil on everything.

[@CenTexAg]

Yep that filter wrench is the way to go. Typical engineer mentality. They never think about the end user

[@Rdrake1413]

I paid about $180 for the filters on my NH TC33D. Ordered them online was the best price I could find. LOL can't tell you how many times I have dropped the drain plug in the oil. I was a mechanic for a local John Deere dealer and I have to agree with you on maintenance. I use water in my tires really doesn't get cold enough to freeze around here. And if it does get down below freezing it usually warms up during the day.

[@CenTexAg]

Great review. Glad to see some New Holland videos. I have a 2012 PowerStar purchased 3 years ago with 1K hours. Our local dealer sells NH and Kubota. Blue brings top dollar around here. Impossible to find good low hour units for sale. I've had zero issues in 3 years.

[@CenTexAg]

That’s great to know. Around here John Deere and Kubota lead the pack but New Holland isn’t to far behind

[@ericmarx900]

They won't show how hard it is to get the Cab Filter out, It's dam Hard!!!!!!!!

[@ricksanchez7459]

Definitely keep us posted on that helper cylinder. They put methyl alcohol and water in ours from the dealer, said they have a stabilizer in it so it's safer? Basically windshield washer fluid?

[@CenTexAg]

Will do. I just received all the small parts today and now just waiting on the cylinder and hose. Yes I read that it’s common to add a certain type of washer fluid to prevent freezing. I’m not to worried about it freezing here where I’m at. I think there’s a better chance of the rim rusting out before it freezes and ruins a tire.

[@tylerstein1492]

Chris I have a Workmaster75, purchased shortly after yours and has a 167hrs. Really like the machine and when I purchased your first video was very helpful. I'm not an oil expert but curious why you went with a 5W-40 oil rather than what the book says at 10W-40. I called my dealer and they suggested a 15W-40. I am 45min West of SA.

[@CenTexAg]

I’m glad to hear the video was helpful. I run the 5w-40 because it’s what the local parts store keeps in stock for synthetic oil plus it’s Rotella which I am a fan of. I have been running T6 for about 5 years now in all my previous diesels and have had great success. From my understanding it’s a -10 degree difference in cold weather vs the 10w-40. Also Rotella claims there are additional additives for extending oil life and heavy engine loads but of course they all say that. I run the same oil in my truck which is now at 175k miles, pushing 5000 engine hours and It does not use a drop of oil.

[@tylerstein1492]

@@CenTexAg Thanks. I'll look into this. Appreciate the comment.

[@samwilliams4384]

Hey thanks for the videos! Keep up the good work. We just bought a new workmaster 75 for our farm, we are in upstate NY. I was talking with my sales guy and be mentioned something that these motors don’t like to be left at low idle for too long, have you heard anything about that? We do a decent amount of field and loader work so constantly hopping off to adjust pallets or what not, so it might sit at low idle for 5-10 minutes sometimes. Plus, it’s upstate NY and it gets cold, so when it warms up like always, you don’t idle up right away. With these do we ? Thanks again! Stay safe out there!!

[@CenTexAg]

Thank you! Will do. I always let the tractor run for a couple of minutes here in Texas no matter what time of year to get the fluids moving and lubricating before I idle up. When the temps get down in the thirty’s it’s a lot longer warm up time obviously. These engines do not have a DPF filter where soot builds up then high heat is needed to cook it all off. So I am not concerned at all about low idle work personally. But it’s still an emissions equipped diesel and the hotter the exhaust gets the cleaner the emissions will be thus less chance of a fault code from a bad sensor happening. If you are able to put it to work every so often I think it will be okay. You stay safe up there too!

[@clintround3403]

I can’t find those curved cabin air filters anywhere. Must be a dealer only item!

[@CenTexAg]

Clint & Amber Round I have yet to look for them. I’ve been blowing them out with air but I don’t think I can go much longer. The tractor has around 330 hours. If I come across an aftermarket set I’ll let you know

[@clintround3403]

@@CenTexAg You also mention these are the filters that need serviced at the first 100 hours but in the Operators Manual, it list most of those at 300 or 600 hours? Am I missing something or are you just going above and beyond?

[@CenTexAg]

Nope your correct. That is a slip on my part that I missed when I edited the video. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@johnbarnes9899]

I just purchased the same machine as yours. You did not cover power steering fluid or pump. Does it use the same hydraulic fluid system as the lifts? Mine has a slight whining sound when turning either right or left and you can feel it on the steering wheel. Is this normal on a new unit that will go away after break-in?

[@CenTexAg]

The steering uses hydraulic system oil but has its own pump. The following is directly copied from the service manual. Hope it helps. My tractor still has whining noise Hydraulic control components - Overview Operating Principle Oil is taken in by the rear shaft and then drawn via the filter into the pump. Pressure is be increased by gears to direct the oil to the steering control valve via the transfer line. When the steering wheel is turned, the high-pressure oil is directed to the steering cylinder. There is a device in the steering motor that measures the oil sent to the cylinder. This value is proportional to the steering angle of the steering wheel. Under conditions where pressurized oil is not provided via the pump, the meter- ing valve and the suction valve allow MANUAL steering. The system is fully hydrostatic. Therefore, there is no mechanical connection with steering wheels. Neutral Position When the steering wheel is fixed, the leaf springs in the steering engine push the spool and the sleeve in, and keep them in neutral position. This ensures that the transfer of oil to the steering cylinder is cut. Additionally, the sleeve stops the movement of oil in the steering cylinder, which helps to keep the wheels at the previous steering position.

[@RogerM88]

The access to the oil filter in the New Holland T4S (Workmaster) is too over complicated. Even worse if the tractor has a loader. Seems like FPT readapte some engine used on other platform to a tractor.

[@wilder11]

12:38 did you just refill via the dipstick port? I cannot for the life of me find the oil intake on my 75...

[@CenTexAg]

Yep. Added a long funnel that fit in the port

[@janericchannel4513]

Have you noticed brakes getting weak? I have 120 hrs on my 2021 Workmaster 75 cab and while moving hay for 8 hrs notice I was really having to press hard to stop. Any knowledge on how to adjust the brakes ? You mentioned using mineral as brake fluid? Is that for real?

[@CenTexAg]

I never noticed the brakes getting weak when I had the tractor. There are adjustment cables on each brake pedal but I don’t have the tractor anymore to look into where they are. If I remember correctly the top of the brake fluid cap says what type of fluid to use.

[@10tylerwalker]

We also have a 2021 WM75 and it’s had the same brake problem, it’s some how getting air in the system with out leaking. I had to bleed them to get them back, then took it to the dealer and that’s all they did also and gave an excuse. So they have gotten week again and it’s getting ready to go back to the dealership to hope they do something. Only 140 hours and I have to keep bleeding them. This is my only complaint with this tractor, everything else is great.

[@janericchannel4513]

@@10tylerwalker took it to the dealer and they bled the brakes and worked for a while now back to being weak again. Getting air in there somehow just like yours

[@10tylerwalker]

Damn it, well I’m going to be a little more irritated this go around to get something done. This is definitely a problem that needs to be fixed under warranty. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear something. I’m calling in the AM to set a drop off date.

[@jessmorris2243]

Nice to see some good New Holland videos! I purchased an open station Powerstar 75 last year but wishing I would have went with the cab. I’m considering the Workmaster 75 cab. Since you’ve had some time with both is the Powerstar worth the extra cost? The Powerstar I purchased did come with wheel weights but on paper the Workmaster is heavier so that’s a plus!

[@CenTexAg]

The Powerstar has a slight advantage only because it’s a 4 cylinder and it has a larger loader. It did feel like a heavier tractor when operating, however after recently adding water to the rear tires of my Workmaster, it made a world of difference. If I were to start over with my purchase I would stick with the Workmaster because it is not worth the cost difference of a Powerstar. I believe for the price of a Powerstar 75 you can now get the new Workmaster 95 that new holland came out with this year. But it requires DEF.
