FINAL DRIVE TRANSMISSION (CHAINCASE)
Checking And Adding Oil
The chaincase contains the final drive sprockets and
chains and uses the same type of oil as the hydraulic /
hydrostatic system. (See Hydraulic / Hydrostatic Fluid
Chart on Page 164.)

If the level is low, add oil through the check plug hole until
the oil flows from the hole.
