The operators manual states capacity is 6 gallon and that the "lubrication of the transmission is entirely automatic. The differential and final drive gears are partially
submerged in transmission oil and.......carry oil up into the transmission. The 6 gallon gear oil supposedly will fill the reservoir right up to the filler hole located
just in front of the PTO housing. 1.5 quarts are then added to the first reduction gear reservoir.
Now the question. Approximately 2 gallon of the 6 will eventually make its way into the transmission and first reduction gear housing. This will put the level 2 gallon
below the filler hole. With a closed system and no leaks do you then just forget about the levels until the next gear oil change? I think the 60 I purchased has been
overfilled by someone who checked the level by looking at the filler hole, saw it low, then filled it back up to the hole level.
