Just checked my rear axle level. It is a big ( 1 5/8")nut just below the seat with a dip stick attached to it. The dipstick has a notch at the bottom but the level is WAY past it, about 1" from the top of the case! It looks like 90W gear oil, and smells like it, I hate the smell of that stuff... Anyhow, there is another dipstick in what I think is called the torque tube, right around stick shift. It is about a 1/2" square plug that has a L and H mark. That dipstick is bone dry. Is it possible that I am loosing fluid from that housing into my rear housing? Wanted to ask before I drain some out of the rear and add it to the front. Thanks,
Ed

Thanks for the reply Wayne. I haven"t check the drain plug yet in the rear for water, which may be the case. But I am still not sure why the front is low. Could me a shaft seal between the two that leaked while sitting?

I do not have a tractor driven hydro pump so the torque tube cavity is only used to coat the shuttle drive. Any reason why I can"t use 90wt oil there? If I don"t find much water in the rear, I figure that if the front cavity is going to mix with the rear through the bad seal...I could save some agrivation and use the same fluids? Any Thoughts? Will post what I find when I crack the drain screw in the rear trans.

Thanks,
Ed

I had the same problem with my 311, the seals between the torque tube and rear end was shot. It allowed the 30 wt oil in torque tube to leak back to the 90 wt in the rear end and then out the axle seals. Had to have it split to replace the seals. I noticed rear end noise, I guess from the thinner oil, until the repair. It is quieter now. The oil levels have remained steady for the last two years after having the work done.
