    160C LC case drain filter

    I just replaced the final drive and called Deere to see if my excavator has a filter on the case drain. I looked in the prints and haven't found one. Iv also looked online and haven't came up with anything. Does it have one and if so where will it be located? The Vin is FF160CX045347. Thanks!
