Transmission Oil Level ijn Super A

I just bought myself a Super A (my first tractor) and thought the first thing I should do is change all the fluids.

Got the Operators manual, and searched this sites for any advice or suggestions.

Drained the transmission oil, refilled with 5 1/2 quarts of oil. It has the PTO and Pulley. I see the the plug to check the level, but I can't seem to get a wrench in there to open it. Its in a tight spot behind the left fender.

So I just looked down the fill hole thinking I could see the oil level up close to the top where the plug is. Didn't start it.

Problem is I don't see the oil...I put in another 1/2 quart (6 total), but still no oil visible. Odd to me cause the fill level plug seems to just a bit below the fill hole on top.

I started it up and see oil circulating.

No change in crankcase oil level.

Ok to run it like this?

thanks
 
Look on the left-hand side of the transmission, down low, probably behind the left side brake rod. You will find a small pipe plug. It sounds like you may have found it already.
When oil starts to come out there, it is full.

And yes, 4-1/2 to 5 quarts is about all it will take.

Oh...I see now....this plug is the fill level plug.....yes?
 
Belt pulley gets its oil from the tranny when tractor is running it will fill to the level and excess drains back into the tranny there is a galley built into the tranny draning oil to the belt pulley area when level is reached
 
Yeah they really don't take a whole lot of oil in there.

Many people overfill them, then start worrying about having to replace the seals that suddenly seem to be failing, dripping lots of gear oil.

(myself included)

The seals probably ARE bad, but with the right amount of oil, you shouldn't see much leakage.
