A) The driveline case shown in “A” takes about 4 liters of SAE 140 gear oil in two stages. The filling procedure is as follows:
Pour in oil until gear case “A” is full. This will require about two liters (slightly over half a gallon) of oil. Leave it standing for about 24 hours, or to
speed up the process connect to tractor and drive the transmission for an hour, preferably with the fill plug removed to facilitate air venting.
The oil will gradually drain down and once it does the gear case must be refilled with about two additional liters. Oil passage is slow, especially in
low temperatures, and this is the reason why two filling steps are required. It helps if oil is warmed slightly.
Before replacing the fill plug, turn transmission on. Any oil quantity in excess will be thrust out through the plug opening. Peering down, oil should
be visible at about mid level to ensure proper gear lubrication. If oil surface is not visible, pour in some additional quantity.
B) The gear case shown in “B” is filled with about 3 liters of SAE 140 gear oil . Oil is poured through the fill opening at the side of the gear case until oil reaches
and flows out of the smaller drain opening. Both fill and drain plugs are then screwed on in place.
