Comment - it takes hours, days, for the oil to settle into all the tight spots. Recheck the level for a couple of days afterward until it stabilizes.

I suggest buy a plunger/dispenser which will be handy for topping up small quantities - even if you have a straight shot for a funnel.

This is the same oil used in Yanmar rototillers too.

I use a quart plastic oil bottle or maybe even these gear oil bottles may work and a dish soap bottle lid that way you can close it up. Good comment though reminded me of this little helper tidbit hth.

Some Gear oil Qt bottles if you dont cut them off to low on that point have a cap that snaps back on, so you can save it.

80-90wt is the same principle as 10w-30.

It is 80 wt when its cold, like just going out to it in the mourning today. And it acts like 90 wt ofter you have been in 4wd running the loader etc for an hour, when its good n warm.

So I took apart my 4 wheel drive housing and while I was cleaning out the old oil... this metal o ring fell out. Anybody know what it is and more importantly where it goes?

Is it like a spring of soft coiled metal, very flexible? If so my guess would be it fell out of a seal, somewhere. Seals will usually have those metal coils in them for pressure.

Yes its like metal wraped around something and its very flexible. I bet it popped out of the knuckle seal...which I am replacing anyway. I could not find it on the hoye schematic so I was a scratching my head....not the first time I had extra parts after disassembling something LOL

Yup I agree with clemson its the seal spring some guys like to pack grease in around those to keep them in place on install fwtw.
