Massey Ferguson 35 Transmission Oil Level?

[jaydee325]

I'm helping my neighbor to get his old Massy 35 gas tractor going this spring. I can't find where to check the transmission oil level. I've found the fill cap on the top of the transmission, but there is no dipstick. I searched on the sides of the case for an oil level fill plug, but found none.

Any help in checking transmission oil level appreciated.

Should be an dipstick on the right side below the seat, on the round cover bolted to the side.

I did find that, but it appeared to me that the transmission is separate from the rear end reservoir. The dipstick shows hydraulic fluid and the transmission has gear oil.

Can you confirm that the transmission, rear differential housing, and hydraulic are a common reservoir?

No it's not, it is common.

Thanks. That simplifies things.

And it is a filter behind the cover with the PTO leaver on many of them, some of the the older ones don't have a filter, you can wash the filter so you don't need a new.
