Oil fillers for gearbox and rear axle.

Hi everyone.

New to the forum. Just picked up a Fordson Major Diesel. Going over it I checked the dip sticks that I could see. Engine of course and one around the transmission.

According to the dip stick near the transmission there is NO oil in it!

My questions are:

What sort of oil should I use?

Where is the oil filler for the trans/gbox

Where is the dip stick (if there is one) and filler for the diff/rear axle/hydraulics.
TIA
 
Oil filler for gearbox is right next to the clutch
linkage with the level marked on the side of the
filler.

Dipstick is for the rear axle and the filler is
behind the seat, between the lift arms.

You have a choice with the oil. It can either be
SAE90W, SAE30W or SAE20/30W. Ford recommended all
three for transmission and hydraulics from 1952 to
the end of production in the Fordson Major.

A Super Major or Super Major 5000 from 1962 to
1964 should have SAE30W or SAE20/30W not SAE90W.

Do not use any EP or Hypoid rated gear oils.

Capacities:

4.5 British Gallons ... Gearbox
9 British Gallons ... Rear axle/Hydraulics.
