In those machines the gearbox would use 80w90 oil and the chain case would use 10w30. In the later machines the two reservoirs were combined and only 80w90 oil was used. In all cases the chain case oil level and fill plug is the plug in the side of the chain case between the two wheels, but closer to the front wheel. To tell how yours is setup, look into the operators compartment from the front of the loader. Look in the area where you heels of your feet would be when sitting in the seat. If you see a cap or plug sticking out of the corner then you have separate reservoirs. That plug contains a dipstick. Another way to locate the plug if present. look at the control lever which goes through the plate. The plate continues down to where your feet are located when in the loader. In the corner where the plate makes a 90 degree bend will be the plug if present.</p></blockquote><p></p>
