Does anyone know how to check the oil in the five speed transaxle on a JD 111 garden tractor?
We have one with a 38" deck that we let our renter use to mow the farmhouse yard. This unit goes back to 1981.
About ten days ago, a rear axle broke off right by the outer bearing. By coincidence, a complete used transaxle came up on ebay, so I bought it. It hasn't arrived yet, but I pulled the old one out of the tractor to compare it to the photo of the one on ebay before I bid.
Even with the old one out and sitting on sawhorses, I can't see anywhere to check the oil level. Do any of ya'll know anything about this?
