If I remember correctly their is a pipe plug on left side near the back of the housing which would be the level check, you have all ready found the fill hole.

And what type of hydraulic fluid should be used.

Janicholson · Feb 21, 2013

Hytran (IH) or equivalent. JD transmission fluid is fine. Read the label on all others to be sure it meets the Hytran spec. Jim

No dipstick. Just a pipe plug in the top of the torque tube just behind the bell (of the bell housing). Drain plug is on the right lower of the same housing.

Transmission/rear axle housing takes gearlube; does not share with hydraulic system.
