we bought a used bush-hog - an old Woods - and are getting it ready and want a little information about checking the gearbox oil and adding more if needed. Is there a site that might have manuals or is this so simple we don't need an illustration?

thanks.

Should be pretty simple. There are probably two ports on there, one large one near the top, and one small one on the side. The top one may have a "breather" cap on it that allows overflow which you work off by pulling up and side to side to loosed. After you've removed that, you should be able to open up the large plug there for filling. Open up the side plug and fill with 90W gear oil until it runs out that side port. Replace the plugs and go to work.
You should also assure that all the bolts all over the mower are good and tight for which you may need to have the foot pound ratings, obtainable by emailing Woods. See their site at www.woodsequipment.com John

John really covered the oil fill routine very well. If you want a picture, most of these gearboxes are very similar and the image of the King Kutter gearbox has an illustration in the lower left corner that shows what John described for refilling the gearbox. As far as the other Woods specific parts and info, I think the link John gave you is the best. They would probably also be able to supply you with an owner's manual.
