RK37 Transmission fluid check

Deano3 · Feb 10, 2018

I have a RK37 with the front end loader and back hoe. I am changing the transmission / hydrolic fluid but can not find where to check the fluid level. The owners manual stated there is a site window but do not see one. It also shows a dip stick but can't find one. I have found discrepencies in the owners manual on 3 occasions already, so thought someone may have ran into this problem that could help me out. The filler cap does not have a dip stick either. Thanks!!

Well, I believe I found the site window. It is on the right side of the PTO shaft. Only about dime size with a red dot in the center. Hard to spot with the back hoe attachment hooked up and what little dirt that was on the window itself. Hope this helps someone else.

I should comment on the transmission / hydro fluid type that the owners manual states to use. I talked to the mechanic via the manager at Rural King in Circleville, Ohio and he said to not use what the manual recommends which is THF 80W (API GL-4 Grade Gear Oil), because it will cause problems. Per his recommendation, I purchased Cam 3, which Rural King carries. It takes 9.25 gallons.

Can you tell me what other 3 discrepancies you found. I'm thinking of purchasing a 37 as well.
thanks!
