Fordsone Dexta Rear Transmission Oil Level

Frank Peteroni · Apr 6, 2012

I have a 1962 Fordson Dexta Diesel. The hydraulics are a little sluggish and I think the fluid is low. On the front gear box I found a full level plug. Is there a plug or how can I tell how much to fill the rear transmission?
Thank you for any assistance. Frank

Hi Frank,

There should be a square headed pipe-thread plug about 1/3 of the way up on the left hand side (clutch pedal side).

Not a bad idea to tap a bit off the bottom drain from time to time when it has been sitting awhile as there can be some condensation moisture build up.

Under the lift cover is a return filter and a suction screen if adding oil isn't a help.
