Hi All,
This is my first post and of course I need some help! My tractor was built in 1994, I got it used with no manual. I've downloaded several manuals but none appear to be my exact B7100 version (i.e. none show the correct location for the differential fill plug - top of front axle on mine). I'm changing the front wheel gear and differential oil. I drained one wheel gear housing and was surprised to collect 18 oz. of oil. All of the manuals I've located indicate that only ~ 5 oz. (0.15L) should be added after draining. I've used this tractor for only a few hours/month over the past 4 years and this is my first change of these fluids. It has less than 900 hours and performs great. Does anyone have this same tractor who could advise me as to whether a "later" manual indicates greater volume? I'm really concerned that I'll "get the diff" volume wrong and cause some big problems. Any advice or specs would be greatly appreciated.
