Changed the oil on my new 1944 H today. No problems. I noticed a couple of small drips under the tractor appearing to come from where the rear end joins the rest of the tractor about 6 inches in front of the platform/brakes. It was a milky tan color with an odd smell. Possibly transmission oil with water in it? That brings me to the next question. Does the rear end and transmission share the same fluid? How do you check the level? Where's the drain and fill port? What type/grade of oil should I use for this? Would like to change tomorrow. Thanks

The rearend and tranny share the same fluid i.e. 90W gear oil. You will need about 6 gallons. There are two drain plugs. One is under the PTO, and (without looking) the other is underneith, near the front of the trans housing. If you look around, you'll see them. The fill plug is next to the steering column, and the level plug is about half way down on the left side, near the clutch pedal pivot.

The leak is probably coming from either the input shaft for the transmission or the drive shaft for the hydraulic pump. Or both. Both seals can be replaced from underneith the tractor.

Riverbend- Thanks for the information! I located the two drain plugs and also the large fill plug on the platform. In my earlier msg, I said the leak was a milky tan color. Is this normal for 90 W gear oil, or do you think there's something funky going on in there? Another question: Between the belt pulley and the starter there's a hand tighten knob with a dipstick on it. This is for the hydraulic oil correct? Is there also a drain for this, so I can empty and refill? I also noticed a plug on top of the belt pully gear housing. Should this also be filled with gear oil?
Thanks

Milky tan sounds like it's got water in it. Common in these, they leak around the gear shift and the cover bolts. Good idea to change it - a shed out of the rain is good, too.
That knob is for the hydraulics - a 'Liftall,' that one's called. Takes six quarts. The drain is underneath, almost staight undr the fill.
The belt pulley uses the same oil as the transmisson/rearend. Last time I changed the oil in mine I poured a quart in that fill on the top before I drained the rear end and transmission so it would have fresh, too.
Good luck with your H
