You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
Hi, Au7edd.
There is a dipstick for the tranny, either under a floor plate or under the seat - it's been a LONNNNGGGG time since I was around one. If at all possible, check the tranny and the engine before running, then run the machine and at least drive it back and forth a bit, then check both again to see if there is any color change in the oil.
The 977Ls are a pretty robust machine.
Just my 0.02.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
