TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL (Gear Shift Models)
The transmission oil level should be checked
monthly or every 25 hours of operation.
To check the oil level, place tractor on a level
surface, raise the rear deck and remove the "check
plug" from the rear of the transmission as shown in
Figure 13. The level is correct when oil seeps out of
the check plug hole. If the level is below the check
plug hole, remove the filler plug from the top of the
transmission and add Ariens Premium Gear Lube
SAE 90 MP until the proper level is reached.
DIFFERENTIAL OIL LEVEL (Hydrostatic Models)
The differential oil level should be checked
monthly or every 25 hours of operation.
To check the oil level, place the tractor on a level
surface, raise the rear deck and remove the "filler
plug" at the rear of the differential. Figure 14. The
level is correct when the lubricant reaches the filler
plug hole. Add Ariens Premium Gear Lube SAE 90 MP
until the proper level is reached.
TRANSMISSION OIL LEVEL (Hydrostatic Models)
The hydrostatic transmission oil level should be
checked monthly or every 25 hours of operation.
To check the oil level, raise the rear deck and
clean all dirt and dust from the oil expansion reservoir
area. Figure 15. Remove cap from the reservoir and
observe the oil level. The level is correct when the
reservoir is 'h full at ambient temperature.

If the reservoir is less than
'/2
full at ambient
temperature, add TYPE "A" transmission FLUID until
proper level is obtained.
