Read the previous post and now I'm really wondering. I posted several days ago about the recommended oil to us in the transmission. The responses I got were good and thank you. NOW I saw mentioned that the use of 20W was made. I am only assuming that the tranny oil supplies the three point cylinders. I have a "Hydraulic oil tank" mounted behind the fuel tank. I haven't looked yet but this must be independant of the three point oil? This is where the 20W low foam oil goes? And as well gets drained at the pump under the front of the engine?
How are the "final drive" oils changed?

Back in the late 50's and early 60's when we worked on the WD's and WD45's at the AC dealership, we used 80/90 hypoid gear lube in the transmission and differential,and 20/w non detergent motor oil in the hydrolic.Later on they went to 821 lube oil,but the hypoid oil had an ep rating,GL5.I guess you can use whatever you would like,but AC was very particular about using hypoid oil in their clutchs. LOL Marvin.

A few days ago I put some TSC multi-purpose hydraulic oil in my WD45 hydraulics. Says it's equal to 20 weight. Seems to be working fine.

Pete, the hand clutch & hyd.pump are in the same compartment and use 20W or 10W non-foaming oil, depending on outside temperatures. If you want to change the final drive oil, remove the pan from the bottom. {90W gear lube]
Also, the trans.& rear diff. use 90W gear lube.

I think you are mistaken. I think the hand clutch is the same oil as the transmission and rear end. The hydraulic pump draws from it's own sump, it does lube the belt pully though I think. The hydraulic oil is filled and checked with the little dipstick on the left side of the bellhousing casting. The transmission has two filler plugs on the left side.

I looked before I went to Fleet Farm for oil. My perticular tractor appears to get all of it's hydraulic oil from the tank mounted behind the gas tank. I didn't see a "pump" on the tranny but, I have a pump on the front of the engine. I purchased 80W-90 for the tranny and gears, and trans clutch areas. I looked and saw three drain plugs on the bottom as well a small plug on the PTO and the Draft adjust(?). I believe I know where to fill but how do you check the level to be correct. I bought 6 gallons of oil.
Thanks!

Sounds like your WD45 has an external hydraulic pump on the front of the engine to give it "live" hydraulics with a reservoir behind the gas tank. The WD45 still has an internal hydraulic pump to operate the 3 point hitch arms and remote cylinder coupling - it's checked by the dipstick noted and takes the 20w hydraulic fluid mentioned. Then you have the transmission which is filled through the plugs .... simple enough?? ;-)

I have a few images of fill locations for the WD45 on my website under "oil capacities and oil type recommendations" - but none of them will show your external pump or reservior.
