Hey Jeff,

That's the Oil Drain plugs that I went by on the transmission, Which is pitifully short of all of the drain plugs that are needed to take out to do the transmission oil change. I missed the creeper oil drain, which is probably the most important one.

They missed the Creeper oil drain, Transfer Oil drain, Other drain plug on the Transaxle and didn't even mention the front Drive axle plugs at all.

Have a nice day,
Joe

I thought the machine looked like it had been around!
The plugs and oils info I'm leaning too with my new JM224. There's a drain plug just below the creeper box (forward), just under the 4wn shaft. See attachment.
As the creeper box sits higher, I wonder if the oils drains off from the other tranny plugs? I figure its good to take a look too make sure oil is present.

Hey Jeff,

We had a fairly lengthy discussion about the creeper gear box, getting oil at the NYTO Forum.

I didn't know to check that drain,, and that one, plus the Transfer gear box, are the 2 most important to check, to make sure that oil is getting into those areas.

When i went out about a month ago or so to check my creeper gear box, only a small amount of oil dribbled out. I was quiet upset to say the least. So I drained everything and flushed with diesel fuel, until I got fluid to come out the creeper oil drain. I had to put in about 6 gallons of oil into the transmission before I got any to come out the Creeper Drain, but when it did,, it gushed out! I drained the transmission to the proper oil level, by letting it out through the creeper Drain Plug. I ordered a new cover gasket for the creeper gear box, and Today, I pulled the cover off, to have a look at the gears in the creeper gear box, to see what it was looking like. I really didn't know what I was looking at, but one of the smaller gears had sharp edges, which may mean that they have worn a lot from lack of oil. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I also greased the tractor, getting ready to put it to work.

Do you happen to know how much grease it takes for the rear axle?

Have a nice day,
Joe
