Your gears in the transmission and outboard reductions are all straight cut gears, thus will be inherentily noisy.

Yes, they do require lubrication.

The outboard reductions have a check and drain port (pipe plug) between the housing and wheel. The transmission also has a check port, but can't really remember where it is at this moment.

You'll want 90 or 140 weight oil for either.
