case 444 trans fluid

So I plan on changing my fluids in my case 444 I don't have a book for it for the trans oil the only plugs i see is the drain plug and the fill plug on the rear of the tractor I was researching online and seen that there is a check plug on case 444 by the drain plug i don't see that on mine? Do some case models not have check plugs my Serial number is 9739635 thanks for the information!
 
The earlier models came with a drain plug and a fill plug in the trans-axle. Later models included a "level plug" because they changed the amount of oil Case put in the trans-axles. No one has uncovered the reason why this was done. On your tractor, you should operate the tractor until all the fluids are nice and warm and then unscrew the drain plug in the trans-axle and leave it drain until all you get is the occasional drip. Then put the drain plug back in and pour new oil slowly into the fill plug hole until it begins to flow back out. When it stops flowing, install the fill plug. You are done. As for oil, you have several choices. You can use common hypoid oil that is used in cars and trucks, although there is no real reason to do so.. OR...you can use 20W50 or 15W40 motor oil or 30 weight motor oil. All will work equally well.

As for the hydraulic system, 15W40 is the popular choice for year around service. In very hot climates, 20W50 is a better choice. In cold weather 10W30 will help in engine starting.
 
YES...... 15W40 is a good choice. Do not worry about whether it is spec'd for diesels or not. It is the grade that counts the most.
 
I have a case 444 is it safe to run hytran in the transmissionIt also runs a second hydraulic pump for the loader.

Would 20w 50 I have that for an old truck. Or do I need the 20w 40
20w50 will be OK, but might be a little heavy for cold weather. I've used it when the pump was a little worn.
