The T/A chamber is separate from the transmission. My 450 doesn't have a T/A but there was some oil in the bottom of the T/A chamber when I tore it open during restoration. There were two standpipes about 2" long that maintained an oil level on each side of the PTO shaft passageway but I don't think that would apply to a tractor with a T/A. Yours may have actual drain plugs positioned side by side on the bottom of the tractor. One is a 1/4" pipe plug and the other is 3/8" pipe plug. These would be in line with the 3/8" T/A oil level plug on the left side of the case about in line with the clutch pedal pushrod. My standpipes were only accessible by removing the top cover on the clutch housing behind the clutch bell. It looks like it would hold about 2 gallons.
As far as the transmission, I've got mine nearly torn down to the transmission case casting, but I understand it holds about 15 gallons of oil. Some of this oil moves all the way forward in a separate passageway to the PTO reduction gears right behind the clutch.
I've heavily documented my restoration with pictures so if you send me an email, I can send you some. Hope I've answered more questions than I've created. Bob (MartyK)

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
