Eric, If you have a 40-S. The transmission drain plug will be on the left side underneath the left footrest, at the rear, do not remove the plug that is vertical in line with the pto shifter, this has a spring and ball for the shifter detent. The fill plug will be just behind your right heel, (sitting on tractor) at the rear of the right footrest plate. Fill here until it runs out. As to flushing, you can use diesel, kerosene, mineral spirits, ect. Just make sure to drain it well. The original manual calls for filling with 90 weight gear oil, you can use 140 weight to make the gears quieter. As to the pto not stopping, sometimes just thick oil will make them turn, even when not in gear. Put the selector lever in one position and try turning it by hand, it should turn by hand in one position and not the other. If it will turn by hand in one of the positions, then it is ok, if not, then you have a problem with the shifter internally.
