Over the past few years I've become a big believer in books & manuals. Get some, it's not going to be cheap & still wouldn't have all the anwsers, but you can't beat having a reference.

Sounds like you are just getting started with
your restoration. My advice to you is to get
the proper manuals a.s.a.p. You can ask alot
of questions on this forum and get good answers
but you will still need those books. CalJim

The transmission takes 4 1/2 galons of 90 weight gear lube.

There are 2 plugs to drain the trans. rear end. The one mentioned below with a 3/4" sq. hole at the bottom of the rear end.( You may need to swing the drawbar over )and another pipe plug below the trans. this is ahead of where the drawbar adjustment/removal pin is. The one in the center ,the other one off set seals up the hole for the pto shifter lever. Refill with gear lube 90 W or 85-140W about 5 gal. Hyd. has a drain plug at the bottom of the rockshaft housing offset to one side and kinda up in as not too get in the way of the drawbar. I use hy-gard as I have it for other tractors. Any hyd. oil will work or even engine oil. Fill at top behind battery box until it comes out the level hole which is like a radiator petcock on the side of the valve housing.

You didn't say what year "B", but the transmission
and final drive should drain through a plug in the bottom of the case, roughly directly under the axle center. The plug may have a female square hole, if so, I believe that a 3/4" socket drive will fit. Around five gallons of oil from this drain, not counting water (condensation buildup). Hope this helps you.

About 5 gallons in the transmission, get a bucket or two because the standard oil pan is way too small. I think the power trol has 6 quarts. Al
