Oil & Fuel JD 609 gear box oil level?

I corrected the gear oil level and ran the cutter and no oil or dust collecting around seal. Also adjusted the slip clutch to ensure it would slip if needed. One heck of a cutter!
Thanks to all for the replys.

One of the best cutter models JD ever produced. I own a 709 which is same family group.

Thanks for the information, not sure why the previous owner had it so full?

Don't overlook the possibility that he didn't know any better.
