TC29D help

[lenzdata]

My ~2000 TC29D dumped it's hydaulic fluid the other day while I was mowing. I think I lost a part or a plug, but I can't find it on any parts breakdown. I was hoping someone with a similar TC29D could look at their tractor and see if I'm obviously missing something.

The fluid ran out of the hole in the PTO housing identified by the red arrow. The fluid didn't appear to be under pressure, it just drained out. The suspect hole doesn't look like it's threaded. Maybe I lost a pressed-in plug of some kind.(?)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Tommy

Tommy, I have a 2000 TC-29D and I just went down and looked...the hole in your picture with the red arrow...I have a plug in that hole on mine and it does appear to be a pressed in plug. From the looks of your picture compared to what I just saw on my tractor it looks to me like you have just lost your plug so if you do not run it until you replace the plug and add fluid you should be fine...let me know if you need more info..Messicks, who isan advertiser here can help you with the part no. and part.
