Andrew,
I dug this one out of my mail folder. I use synthetic gear oil in my tractors, less drag in cold weather. We all agreed that you can fill the transaxle with the tractor on a slope. On flat ground you can only get about 32oz. in.

I talked to Bill Gunn today, and he said that the transmission takes 64OZ of 90 weight oil! Filling to the "fill" plug line won't be enough to insure that the upper end of the tranny gets lubrication. Therefor, either stand the trac on its head to fill it, or fill it thru the shift lever when the tranny is out for service. Also found out there were two different brake rotor hub assemblies - one early brake with non-floating rotor & hub with setscrew, and a later floating hub with no setscrew. They were different sizes! Jeez - were any two 'tracs the same?
