My son had a 333 which we changed the transmission/differential oil on and that is the same unit that you have. When you say "grease", I assume you are referring to the transmission/differential lubricating oil. You can probably use 80W90 gearlube in the transmission/differential case. The two compartments are next to one another and share the same oil. The fill plug is located near the front of the steel plate that bolts down over the tranmission/differential casting. It will be a plumbing plug with a tapered pipe plug. Filling through this hole will service both the transmission and differential. Drain the old oil out the rear bottom at the back of the differential. Have a number of pans or tubs available because there is a lot of oil in there, 13 US gallons or 10.8 Imperial gallons or 49 litres of metric measure. Let it drain out for some time, that old oil is pretty thick, probably 140 weight. Once it is empty, plug up the drain plug and add the specified amount of oil (above) through that front opening at the top. As far as checking the oil level goes, there is no real check level built in but it is done as follows. Take out the center bolt from the left side of the top transmission cover plate. It might also be the bolt also holding down the left seat bracket. Once this bolt is removed, take a stiff piece of heavy wire that is about 16 inches in length. This is going to be your "dipstick", so make a loop in the top of the wire to prevent it from dropping into the hole when you check the oil level through that bolt hole mentioned. Lower the dipstick vertically into that bolt hole (through the top of the plate) till it bottoms on the loop (not on the bottom of the transmision) and remove the dipstick wire. The oil level should be about 10 3/4" from the top surface of the cover plate (or 10 3/4" from the bottom of the loop on your dipstick).

Mike, I just bought a 44 and the gear oil looks terrible! Does that same proceedure apply to a 44 ?

Well, I would imagine most of the procedures are pretty much the same. I'm not sure about checking the oil level on the 44, there might be a pipe plug on the side of the tranny that comes out and when the oil starts running out of that hole, then the tranny/differential is full. I see where the 44 uses 52 US quarts (13 US gallons) so it is about the same as the 33 (and 333). Look on the side for a removeable plug, that would be the one.

The transmission oil check plug is on the right
side of the transmission case,by the left brake
pedal rail. Using a 3/8" rachet, loosen the plug.
Nothing should burst out, unless your shift boot is cracked, venting water into the case. Assuming
the boot is ok, with you small finger you can sometimes feel the gear oil, just below the level.
If not, us a plastic straw or wire, to check. Good
idea to drain the old oil, fill with kerosene, drive around the yard a few minutes, get the sludge out(plenty). On 333/444, you can pull the PTO housing,get a hand inside to feel for caked
on sludge. Check the two drain plugs for steel fragments, they are magnetized. Good luck.
