If you’re looking to service the hydrostatic transmission on a John Deere X500 series lawn tractor, this video shows a complete hydro oil and filter change on a John Deere X540 equipped with a Tuff Torq K72A transaxle.

I follow the John Deere manual step-by-step, explain the service interval (first change at 50 hours, then every 200 hours), and show the full procedure from drain to final level check.

In this guide you’ll learn:

How to service a Tuff Torq K72A hydrostatic transaxle the correct way

Where the two drain locations are and how to drain the system completely

How to replace the hydro filter

Which fluid we use: John Deere Low-Viscosity Hy-Gard

How to refill, run the tractor, and recheck the reservoir level after cycling the system

This maintenance applies broadly to John Deere X500 series tractors, especially models with hydraulic lift and power steering.

Procedures are similar across: X500, X520, X530, X534, X540, X570, X580, X584, X590, X595 (always verify capacities and exact steps in your manual).

I also show the manual reference at the end of the video so you can match your tractor’s procedure.

If you’re searching for John Deere hydro service, X540 hydro oil change, K72A filter replacement, Hy-Gard low viscosity, or hydrostatic transaxle maintenance, this video walks you through it clearly from start to finish.
