Im wanting to change the transmission/rear end fluid/oil. Im guessing it takes 90 weight gear oil. Question is how much? Do I fill it up? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes.

Take a look at the photos below of the final drive filler plug and the transmission filler plug.

Add 90 gear oil to the bottom of threads at both openings.

Hope this helps.
 
That helps alot thanks. Now one more question. Where is the drain plug for the transmission or is the final drive filler plug? Because thats what I thought it was? Thanks trying to take care of my old mans tractor.

Take a look at the photos below of the location of the transmission drain plug just below the left foot rest.
