Hi all,
Last year I bought a L285 and I've been sprucing it up as I find time. Recently I drained the gearbox and refilled it with some Universal Transmission/Hydraulic fluid from Walmart.
My manual said the capacity was 7.3 gallons so I bought 7 gallons figuring all the old oil wouldn't drain out anyway so 7 would be fine.
When I refilled with the new 7 gallons nothing came out of the full level hole on the side of the transmission.
Walmart only sells the oil in 5 and 2 gallon containers. I doubt that my tractor is 2 gallons low, so if I buy 2 gallons and only have to put a little bit in to fill it I will be left with a gallon or so of oil that I have no use for.
I could either leave the oil level as it as it is and figure it's good enough, or I could dump 2 gallons in and over fill it a little.
Would over filling the tranny harm anything ?
Thanks !!
