transmission/hydraulics UTB 445

[Kingpin]

I have a UTB 445 tractor also known as a Long 445 can any body tell me what oil I should use for transmission/hydraulics and where will i find the filling point and to what level.

I use universal tractor oil from any motor factors for mine in engine & transmission/hydraulics.
Filling point is a threaded plug on the gearbox cover near the gear sticks. Because mine has a glass fibre moulding over the cover, I fill mine from the large threaded bung that takes the return from the spool valves, it is situated under the seat. There is a transmission dipstick on the right hand side of the gearbox next to the handbrake.

Thanks for replying John, so are you saying that the gearbox, rear-diff and hydraulics all use the same oil and the dipstick situated by the side of hand brake checks the level for all three, and filling takes place from under the seat? Because it seems as those there are two drain plugs in the casing one under the gear box and another towards the rear, which would tend to suggest to me that gearbox and diff are separate, I have a filler plug just to the left of the gear leaver view from the sitting position which I took to be the gearbox filler but can't see any side plug to indicate the correct level.
Am I correct in thinking this.

I have a Long UTB tractor also. yes the hydraulics,transmission and the real differential use the same oil. I fill mine through the hole that the dipstick goes in. I use universal tractor/hydraulic oil.
