Would sure appreciate it! Do you know how much it takes? and is there a
level hole or other means of checking oil level?

Had a look this afternoon, just so we're facing the right way - left
of machine is your left as you stand in the operator's position. Now
if you go to the front of the machine and look underneath from the
left side of the machine you'll see a plug right in the centre at the
lowest point of the transmission casing in front of the axle, the
casing is bigger on the right of the machine next to the wheel and
there's a little plug on the side of that at the lowest point to get
the residual oil from it.


wonderful! thanks for all your help! one last quick question....do you
check oil level by resting the dipstick on the threads or do you screw it
in? i don't suppose it'll make much difference though!
