By the clutch pedal inside the frame rail there are two square headed plugs they both need to be filled with oil to fill all the areas.the pto is the lowest point of that oil cavity. I think the belt pulley plug is different. [Reply]  [No Email]

If that plate does not have a plug screwed into it (apparently it does not) you can drain some of the oil from the other two drain plugs and finish by loosening the plate and putting a 5 gal pail under it as someone has already suggested. It will be a little messy; don't you just hate the smell of gear oil when you get it all over yourself? LOL As stated, check the condition of that intermediate gear in the bottom of the tranny to assure it has no teeth missing. It can, however, be replaced without splitting the tractor.

NY, 01-22-2013 19:35:45   Be SURE you are going to use a PTO Gearbox for a WD-45 and NOT a WD..they are stronger.. AND, have the upper ears Magnafluxed, to be SURE they are not in any way flawed...
