Am changing all the filters, oil, etc to start off the year. Took the threaded cap off the transmission (on top between shifters and the seat). It is just a flat cap with no "dip stick" indicator on it. I cant see or feel any fluid when I stick my finger in. So how do you ck the fluid level on this tractor? Tks:confused:

There should be a site glass on the left side either in front of the pedal if you have a manual transmission. Or behind the pedal if its an hst. You can download the users manual from Kubota and it gives you a clear picture of what your looking for.

I will take a look but I don't remember there being any clear places on the side. Thanks for the info. Maybe its covered with dirt:)

Look for a plug on the side of the transmission. Clutch side, about even with your big toe as your sitting on the tractor with feet on the floor boards. :) plug is sometimes painted orange. To check level, remove plug. If oil runs out, your good. If no oil running out. Top up until oil starts running out ;)

As for oil, since it's geared, you can use any universal tractor hydraulic fluid. Stuff I use is the Napa Auto Parts brand and costs $35 for 5 gallons. :D
