tranny fill plug for international 5500 dump ( 2006 )

[Soundguy]

I'm out servicing the dump truck and can't for the life of me find a fill for the tranny!!

Anyone got a diagram or got one and knows where to look.

found drain ( pita spot too ) and another port.. but no way to get a hose to the darn thing.
thanks

If it's a Fuller 8LL, 9, or 13 spd. here is a link to an online service manual. http://www.roadranger.com/ecm/group...roadranger/documents/content/rr_trsm-0430.pdf Scroll down to page 16, to see a diagram of location of fill plug. Or..., page 19 for an actual photo. Look on the left side of the trans., almost directly below the shifter. Picture shows an arched, inset flat boss, where the fill plug is.

Many thanks!

Found it.

It's one of those places where if you removed the fuel tank and cut a hole in the frame it would be easy to get to. otherwise laying on the ground with a lube pump and reaching up to the side to fill it ..

again. Thanks.

Got it filled !

You're surely welcome...

Another case of where automotive engineers should have to work on the field on this stuff, for 2 years, before they get a diploma...
