1959 540 Cockshutt gas tractor


On the top of the reservoir is a plug with a dip stick. You fill it there. Down on the bottom of mine { forget which side} there is a plug to drain it.
 
Hi

He explained the tractor to me and your answer is for the hydraulic system. In the manual it tells you 90W oil is for the
transmission and 8W32 is for the hydraulic system. He showed me where it goes for the hydraulic but he needs to know where it
goes for the transmission as it does not show where it goes. Jackie
 
(quoted from post at 09:49:15 07/24/21) Need to know where do you put the fluid transmission in and where do you drain it. Thank you
On the side of the transmission beside the brake pedals is a removable plate that is 6-sided and held on with 4 bolts. I just remove the plate and pour the fluid in there. The drain plug is on the opposite side of the transmission just under the step platform at the clutch pedal. Hope this helps.
