A question

I have a 1941 A that I use to cut grass with a woods mower. It runs good but I need to do spring maitenance so I was wondering where to check the rear end oil and what kind of oil does it take in the transmision and rear end.

I would drain the oil out (if it is the original, it is toast) if you do not know it is better to replace it.
There is a check plug on the left side to test the level. it should be within a half inch of the threads. I think it takes 6 quarts, but I am not positive on this amount 80-90 gear oil is correct.

On a side note, that level check plug is probably going to be hidden behind the Woods mower mount, it is on my A and my Super A.

The level plug is behind the rod going to the left brake. Drain is under the right diff housing on the drivers side. I would drain then put a gallon of diesel fuel in and drive around a little bit then drain that out and refil with 90-140 cause with the mower you will be using it pretty good. I would also drain the pto assy and flush it also. When refilling fill the pto assy. When tractor runs lube is thrown up to the top side of the tranny case then a channel in the tranny case lets it run back ionto the pto assy but over the yrs that passage can get plugged thats why to check the pto from time to time to make sure its full as your mower will be using it hard. Great unit for mowing enjoy.

does that fluid level plug point straight back? I can see the plug behind my mower drive but it is kinda hard to get at . Just want to be sure. I have two filling holes ,one beside the shifter and one on the pto so far I can only see one drain plug but why two fill holes.
