560 trany drain plug location

Old560 · Mar 4, 2019

I have three different drain plugs. One on the back of the Differential, one that is on the plate that has six bolts holding the plate on Towards the front of the transformation, and then one about halfway between those two that point?s forward I?m assuming all three of those have to come out to get a complete drain. Will try to post pictures of what I?m talking about. Hoping I just have too much moisture in it that is froze. Trying to fix the no power steering no hydraulic problem. will be changing the filter at the same time.

Yes that is all of the plugs. You should get 5-7 gallons out between the front two and the rest from the larger back one. About 16 or so gallons all told. Be careful with the back one if the oil is warm enough to flow good but likely from your other post there may be ice at all of them. You may have to drape a tarp over the tractor and use a lot of heat to get the oil out. Good luck.

there were several different hydraulic filters used on the 560. If you look at pats book some had a shell with 2 smaller filters inside. One style has a paper, wire filter with a metal screen in the center that is sort of a "by pass" if filter is plugged. When I got my 560 an old time IH guy said that was the better type to use. Just letting you know so you don't order a filter that may not fit when you get it apart.
