Not so much "if", but how? How does one go about draining and replacing the gear oil in the box. In the parts diagrams I see no provision for a drain on the bottom of the box and I see no access to a drain from under the center deck even if there was one there. Do we use a hoist to stand the entire mower up in a vertical position and drain from the "fill/check" hole. Or, turn it up-side down and drain it by removing the top vent (there may be a bearing under there in the way - I forgot to check that. Or (hopefully) there is a drain that can be used with mower deck in normal level position?
Not "due" by the book yet, but if my experience with similar gear boxes on John Deere mowers is relevant, the gear oil is getting pretty well shot after 200 to 300 hours.
