Can anybody please help me find out where to find out the oil level in the transmission on my 60? It seems to be making a whining noise when I get it out on the road, and I got a funny feeling that it's low on oil, and I don't know where to check it. Seeing as nobody replied to my last post, any help is appreciated. Oh, I need to know the type of oil to use. Thanks.

By all means check the transmission oil but assuming its clean and full I would not be too worried about gear whine. The 1st reduction gear is straight cut and some of them will whine quite a bit. This is especially true after years of service. My 50 whines pretty bad under load but it is otherwise smooth and trouble-free.

You check the transmission oil by removing the big square plug on the rear of tractor. Use 85-95W, and you should be able to touch the oil with your finger thru the hole. Russ

Look for a plug on the flywheel side, forward of the axel and below the left brake. I think the 60 is located the same as the 630. Take the plug out and fill until oil starts to come out. I think the whining noise is standard Deere noise. They all have some whine to them. Some worse than others. It is caused by square cut gears and wear in most cases.

Should have a plug some wheres on the rear end that is about half way up on the tranny. I would use 80W-90 or 85W-140

jdman is correct. You check the oil for the trans and rear end at the location he said.You need to get an operators manual as it shows all the info you need to properly check all levels and types of oil to use.
