transmission level

[trikebiker69]

Hi everyone, new to this site and proud of my '71 MF 135 Perkins gasser. My first problem is the operators manual for it is backordered and I need to check the transmission fluid level. I can't find anything that loks like a level indicator.

Where your right foot rests on the foot rest, there id a diff lock pedal by your heel. Right next to that on the transmission case there is a dipstick.

Thanks MFRED for the reply, That checks the hydraulic and rearend, is the transmission connected with it and both use that dipstick? It has two drain plugs so I thought it might be different?

yes, just one dipstick. The trans & rear axle are all one fluid. 2 plugs because of where the castings meet, there is a rise & all the fluid wouldn't come out of the other housing.
