Both the owners & IT manuals call for 6 1/2 quarts of gear oil in the transmission/differential, & show one drain plug on my '48 M. I drained out almost 4 qts.,(& thinking it was just low), I put new oil in, & it was full after almost 4 qts. After driving it a while, I removed the filler plug, only to find that my new oil was just as dirty & brown as before, It had to mix with the 2 1/2 qts. of old oil that did not drain out. I've asked around, but nobody knows how to drain the last 2 1/2 qts. ANYBODY HAVE AN M, OR KNOWS SOMEONE THAT DOES? Thanks!!!

is it possible that sludge on the bottom of the case is displacing the space that the missing 2 1/2 quarts would take up.? every service manual and operators manual i looked at shows only 1 drain plug.bill m.

I like to take the rear and top covers off and look around inside. The rear of the trans axle will hold back some of the oil/sludge as there is a partition between the ring gear area and the rest of the transmission. This is a good change to check out the condition of things inside there and get it good and clean. You may want to fill it full of kerosene or diesel and run it with the transmission in gear and one wheel off the ground (well blocked) to clean it out. also a long handled brush will help. Refill it it with new gear oil. I like 140 wt GL1.
