mf135 rear hub oil

[eken]

i have a 1970 Massey Ferguson MF135 that has hubs out near the rear wheels that appear to be filled separate from the rear end. there are pipe plugs on the rear of the hub but i dont see a way to drain them. it also appears to have wet brakes when i thought it would be dry. has anyone seen this? what oil does it take? i just purchased this tractor and i am trying to do maintenance on it. any recommendations on oil for it would be appreciated

They probably used disc brakes and had rear hubs with independent planetary gear sets. Contrary to popular belief, I don't think they were wet discs. Hopefully, you'll be able to determine from this thread if this is indeed the case.
