John Deere GT series lawn & garden tractors

Manual transmission fluid capacity & service interval

John Deere GT series lawn & garden tractors utilize manual transmission fluid with a capacity of 4,4 liters. Service intervals include checking at 50 hours and changing at 250 hours or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
GT225 PIN (010001-060000) (2000-2002)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 4,4 liter
  • Check 50 hours
  • Change 250 hours
GT235 PIN (010001-060000) (2000-2002)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 4,4 liter
  • Check 50 hours
  • Change 250 hours/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • The GT225 and GT235 manual transaxles within PIN range 010001-060000 share an identical fluid capacity of 4.4 liters, which represents a full transaxle service fill volume rather than a partial top-up quantity.
  • The GT225 (PIN 010001-060000) specifies a fluid check interval of every 50 hours under normal use conditions, with a full fluid change required at 250 hours.
  • The John Deere GT235 (PIN 010001-060000) carries the same 50-hour check and 250-hour change intervals as the GT225, but adds a 24-month time-based change threshold alongside the hour-based one, meaning whichever limit is reached first would govern the service event.
  • The absence of a time-based interval on the GT225 entry, compared to the dual hour-and-month interval on the GT235, represents a notable specification difference between the two models despite their otherwise identical capacity and check interval figures.
