The way to test it is to lift one side and check that both wheels turn the same amount.To check oil level, there is a plug at the front of the chain case, sit the machine on level ground and remove the plug. Oil should just start to trickle out the hole, the correct level is when the oil just starts to come out the hole. It should be golden colour and not white, white means you have water in there, not un-common i'm afraid. Standard 10W30 - 20W50 engine oil is fine in the hydraulics and chain case. The bearings and chains only move slowly, so oil type is not critical.</blockquote>
