I love my 1529 but the manuals method of checking the front axle oil level seems IMPOSSIBLE to me ......anyone else here feel the same way?? Also my manual lists 2 different engine oil capacities, 3.8 qts on one page and 3.3 qts on another 30 pages later ( both say crankcase and filter) !!.....3.5 or so seemed to do the trick..:thumbsup:
