John Deere Construction Articulated dump trucks

Transfer case fluid capacity & service interval

John Deere Construction Articulated dump trucks require transfer case fluid with a capacity of 4,7 liters. Service intervals include checks at 500 hours and changes at 100 hours or 2000 hours. The data covers 4 configurations.

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

Additional Notes

  • The transfer case on the John Deere Construction Articulated dump trucks 250D and 300D, both fitted with the 6081H engine, holds 4.7 liters of fluid, which represents the full service fill volume for the transfer case assembly.
  • Under normal use conditions, the transfer case fluid on the 250D with the 6081H engine is checked at every 500-hour interval and changed at every 2,000 hours.
  • The 300D with the 6081H engine follows the same normal-use schedule, with a fluid check at 500 hours and a full fluid change at 2,000 hours.
  • Both the 250D and 300D specify an initial service change at 100 hours, which is a break-in interval designed to remove metal particles and contaminants generated during the early wear-in period of the transfer case components.
  • The 4.7-liter capacity is consistent across both the 250D and 300D configurations, indicating no variation in transfer case size between the two models when paired with the 6081H engine.
  • The initial service interval of 100 hours on both models is significantly shorter than the 2,000-hour normal change interval, reflecting the elevated contamination risk during the initial operating period of the transfer case.
