Bill Gunn also told me this about the transmission: It takes 64 ounces of
tranny oil. When you fill it you *must* lift the tail end of the tractor
way
up high; on level ground it will only appear to take 32 ounces of oil.
There
is not a slinger or pump in there, so the top of the gears will not get
oiled. Not like an auto transmission. He also recommended 85/140 weight oil
(which sounds logical since the Elec-Trak doesn't have synchros in there)
Saved me a bunch of future money; hope this tidbit helps others.
