1938 #12 Cat Grader - transmission question.

The tractor transmissions have a similar setup with the fill over the transmission but the oil equalizes between trans and bevels gear compartment behind it. I expect yours is the same. Someone will be along shortly that has better info.

Transmission fill plug is the one in front of the shifter. Fill to level plug located on the LH side of the transmission case. Takes 10 qts, SAE 90 or 140 wt depending on temperatures.

Thanks a lot! Been looking for resolution of this for a while.

Question: According to the specs for this machine, the transmission takes takes 58 qts of oil. Hmmm

So the fill hole is in the cab then?

Thanks

Scott

My info says the transmission holds 10 quarts, the rear axle housing holds 60 quarts.

I don't have pics of the trans-axle but there is a drain plug at the bottom facing rear and a fill/fill level plug half way up the TA case facing rear; There are two housings for the transmission on the front side of the engine area, both have drain plugs.

The pics I can send show the front side of things.

For some reason the upload of photos on this form s not working. Keep getting too large or invalid alerts or they rotate the pics 90 degrees right!@#@!.

There are only two compartments involved with the transmission. Transmission fill plug takes care of the transmission. Level plug prior to 9K3282 is on the left hand side 9K3283-up is on the RH side of the transmission case. The rear axle housing which contains the pinion and bevel gear plus the reduction gear from the transmission has the fill plug on the rear of the housing, drain on the bottom. Fill to level of the fill plug.
