(ET) Transaxle Oil Fill

[Tim Chapin <tchapin umich edu>]

After talking with Bill Gunn about getting a old et back running again, he
said to make sure to change the transaxle lube and make sure to tip the
transaxle up to be able to get the full 64 oz. of lube in.  I think I
remember Bill saying that the manual was wrong.
