2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Which bolt hole on NV4500 PTO cover doubles as drain?

[C. Harlan]

I have heard there is one, and would like to know, due to the fact that the clutch is coming out today... I am doing it all by myself, as Kernel is getting deployed unfortunately (Keep him and everyone else in your prayers), and everyone else is busy... . Please let me know if and where the bolt hole is, because I would like to add a transmission temp gauge while I am at it!

It's the bottom one on the 5600. Probably the same on yours.

 

[LarryB]

Any of the bottom ones.

I opened the lowest ones on each side to promote best drainage. Glad it's only 4 qts as the recomended fluid is over $20 a qt.

 

[John Berger]

I open the lowest one, let it drain for a moment or two, then loosen and pull the main plug.



Hey Mark, we're neighbors sort of. I live up in Kingsland.

Chris,



I put my temp sensor in the fill plug by bushing down. I figure when the oil is splashing around, accuracy is acceptable.

Me too on the fill plug location. The exact temp is not important to me but a rise from "normal" temp is what I need to know about.
