john deere G

don in calif. · Jun 17, 2008

just acquired a '46 john deere G, serial # 19026. has been sitting outside for several years, want to change the oil and filter. i was told by a friend that the crankcase and trans were common. i have a after market repair manual, but all the info it gives are the capacities for the crankcase and the trans & differ. they also do not tell you what weight oil to use in any of the above. they say the crankcase takes 11 quarts and the trans and diff 28. would appreciate any info that someone who knows G s could give.
thanks for the help.

I would steer away from your "friend" and order the operator's manual.1-800-522-7448

Get the Parts Catalog also.

Let's look at this hypothetically.. can you imagine gear oil in a crankcase? lol

if you sign up with jdparts.com you can download and print the parts catalogs now and not have to buy them, just put in G in the model and find the one for your tractor.

it does not use the same oil. Good old 30 weight is what i use in everything here. I dont know if Gs have oil filters, im assuming they do, so get a filter from napa or the like. Theres an oil fill somewhere on the top of the engine or the crankcase, and a "drain" on the bottom of the crankcase. Good luck
