Tiller Gearbox

[kennyl123]

Hi guys. I need to know how much gear oil to put in a First Choice RT04-60 tiller gear box. I have searched on line but can't come up with the answer. I have the owners manual but it just says change it and nothing about how much and weight. Thanks

This manual, page 25, mentions some weights. I would fill until it comes out right wherever you check levels.

OK, here's my 2 cents.
The box does not need to be full, just enough that the chain and gears splash some lube around.
It does not need a bath to keep it going, in fact too much is actually bad as it builds up pressure and then seals blow.
As an example a motorcycle chain gets little lube and runs forever. and it is not enclosed like a gearbox is.
Don't sweat it! Just keep some in there.
