I changed some nasty tranny lube out of my Super M a couple years ago. A few things I learned:
1 � Have at least (3) empty 5-gallon pails ready to catch the old oil. If the transmission is filled to the �full� level you�re gonna get 13 gallons of stuff when you pull the plug. (That�s a lot of dirty oil arrives in a hurry once the plug is out!)
2 � Drain the oil on a hot day if you can. The warmer the old stuff is the faster it will drain.
3 � Park the tractor so the front end is higher than the rear before pulling the drain plug. This will facilitate draining.
4 � If your SM has a belt pulley, loosen the gearbox housing to drain the quart or so of oil held in the gearbox.
5 � If you can let the tractor sit with the drain plug out for several days to let as much of the old stuff drain as possible.
6 � Some like to fill the transmission with kerosene or diesel as a flush, drive the tractor a few minutes then drain it. (I however skipped this step with mine�).
7 � Before dumping the old oil take a moment �go fishing� in the waste oil container(s) with a magnet. If you find any loose balls, whole gear teeth, etc. the transmission needs attention(!).

The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
