Where do you add Hydraulic fluid to a L445 New Holland skid Loader?

I have looked and can't seem to find out where you add hydraulic fluid to a L445 New Holland Skid Loader. I need help and a picture would help. I am looking under the seat. Looking toward the back of the machine I see a tank that I think is the hydraulic tank but see no place to add fluid. I have looked at the pump but have had no luck in figuring out where to add fluid. A picture would be great to point out where the fluid is to be added. I am new to this machine. I am aware that it uses transmission fluid for the hydraulics. Thanks

If its like my L-775, 778 the filler is in the engine compartment on the left side standing behind the loader and up under the hood---also mine have a sightglass visable thru a slot in the side plate on the left.
I never was around a 445 so not sure on them. I have L-775, L-778, and my favorite a L-781 Deutz diesel engine model.

I found it as I was looking in the wrong places. It is easy to find after all. My son spotted it. It is on the right side floor just as you get into the compartment. If you are setting it is on your left side of the floor. Thanks for trying to help me.

My son found it, it was on the left hand side of the floor if looking from the seated position looking toward the bucket.

This is a 40+ year old machine that has a 30 hp Wisconson Gas Engine. I am just trying to get it running.

The wisconsin engines are the biggest problem with these loaders! --- My L-775 has the wisconsin V-465-d motor in it, (65 hp) and ran for years before it blew up. Have new one to put in but time a my physical condition has me at a standstill right now. I also have a Case 1530 that has a small wisconsin in it that I cant get to run!--- never was fond of v-4 wisconsins!
Glad you found the filler on yours!
