Where is the transmission fill located on a '51 A? On the tractor we found a large square plug located straight down from the rear of the seat, below the power trol on the belt pulley side of the tractor, is this it? The manual shows the two drain plugs, but not the fill hole.

If you just got your tractor, you might want to put a couple of gallons of diesel in the transmission.

Drive it around to loosen and clean all the "gunk" that has built up on the gears.

Drain the diesel and refill with 80/90 weight and maybe a can or two of HTP oil treatment.

Fill to the threads and replace the fill plug finger tight. It is easier to check the level each time you use your tractor.

Never worked on a 51 but every other lettered tractor is to the threads.

If it is a large plug, 1-1/2 round or so yes that is it. Fill till oil comes up to threads.

Cool. I read it takes 7 gallons and someone told me there is a drip plug like the you use with the oil to check the tranny level. Any truth to that or just go to the threads?

Thanks
