WD rear end oil???

sHan,TN · Mar 14, 2012

ok so i checked the oil levels on the little dip stick and the 2 square head plugs i see a very thin oil in the holes.. looks like hytran oil or something like it, now if i remember right the little dip stick is for the trans? amd the plugs are for the rear end? what oil should be in the rear end? and is there another plug anywhere on the diff? thanks

wrong,,,, the dipstick is for the hydralic oil,, the pipe plugs to the rear of that are for the trans and differential oil which take 80w90. have heard of guys useing a hy trans oil in the trans and rear end tho.when you remove the pipe plug the oil level should be there.

yes the oil is at the pipe plug level but it looks thin and kinda bubbly, ive got a loud growling in the rear end and im wondering if the light oil is to blame,,, how much oil does the rear end hold?? thanks

That growling you are hearing is normal. Every wd has that sound

about five gal for trans and diff

It has been a while but I'm pretty sure published rear end oil capacity is 17 quarts. My manual and tractor are in another state.

There is either one or two drain plugs on the bottom of the tractor and another plug on the botton of the PTO housing. Be sure and get this one as the PTO can be a high wear area if you use it a lot under load.
