The final drives, you remove the pans, clean them, reinstall them, fill to the bottom of the plug in the side of them. You can pour some oil into them, as much as you dare, and putthem on. Saves having to fill through the side plug. Check the level though if you do this to make sure you put enough in. The transmission, there are three drains, under the differential, under the transmission in a sheetmetal plate, and the bottom of the PTO or a cover on the bottom where the PTO would go if you don't have one. To fo a good change you need to remove all three as you won't get rid of all the old oil if you don't. To fill, there are two plugh on the left side. I can't describe just where from memory, gut they look up at you if you stand by the clutch pedal and look around. Fill using both. Hydraulics, A drain plug forward of the 3 transmission plugs, and the fill is the twist off cap with the short dipstick forward of the transmission filler plugh on the left of the clutch housing. The engine, drain is obvious, but the fill can fool some people if they don't know, it is just behind the governor and forward of the magneto. The oil filter is obvious too but you need to know not to use the wrong one. Some new ones lower oil pressure and you don't want one of these. Get onewith cloth threads visible above a perforated screen and with a wood dowell like a pencil stuck up the center. If you use the wrong one it doesn't have enough back pressure and too much oil goes through the filter and not enough to the engine. The filter is a "bypass" type, not a "full flow" like newer engines, that's why this happens. I thought all the bad filters would be recalled and out of the systen by now, but I went into NAPA last week and they had 3. So I didn't buy one. Got to find the good ones. There is a lot in the archives here about this problem if you look.
