Changed the gear oil in both gearboxes, reduction box and final drive box and thought I’d post pictures of it. The reduction gearbox has a drain, small metric allen head and holds 24 ounces. The final drive gearbox doesn’t have a drain so I improvised (shh don’t tell the wife) to remove the fluid, it held 12 ounces. I used Mobil Delvac Synthetic Gear Oil 122035 75w90 for refill from Summit. I always label with date, oil and capacity for future reference, no guessing!

I know this an old post but I'm hoping someone can answer a question for me.
So it appears there is no drain plug for the gear case so I will need to siphon it out (relax honey I will use the vacuum pump not your baster). When re-filling the gear box do you fill it to the bottom of the fill plug hole?
What is the recommended gear oil?
Ok, that was two questions.

What does the owners manual say about changing the oil?

Manual says to check every 24 hours and add as needed. No mention of when or how to change it.

Thats what I suspected. Like many implements it does not need to be routinely changed - just kept full.
