1. Place a pan under the drain plug.
2. Use a wrench and remove the drain plug.
3. Loosen
the filler plug so air can enter the gearbox and the oil will drain freely
(see Figure 5.5).
4. Allow the oil to drain completely.
5. Replace the drain plug.
6. Add oil until the gearbox is half full (center of cross shaft) and replace filler
plug. A flexible funnel may be required. Gearbox should be level when
checking or refilling. Do not overfill.
For more extensive servicing or repairs, remove the hopper from the boot
assembly by removing the 3/8” x 3/4” bolts and large washers. Lift the gearbox
end with a front end loader or other secure method as shown in Figure 5.8. The
hopper end should remain on the ground. When reassembling, lightly grease the
splined shaft and check and retighten setscrews and connecting bolts.
