RE: (ET) Transaxle Oil Fill

["Pieter Litchfield" <plitch attglobal net>]

I can confirm this is correct as I had the same conversation with Bill 
Gunn.
I filled my axle when it was out for repairs, so I could tilt it up to fill
it.

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.
