John Deere 1209 Mo/Co wobble box and gear box oil

[LondonDave]

I know I need to get a manual and I'm sure it would give me this info but I'm wondering if someone could help me out before I get one. I need to check and fill (if necessary) the oil in the wobble box and what I'm going to call the gear box but maybe there is another name for it. There is a fill hole on top of the wobble box but I can't see anywhere to check the fluid level. Do you just fill it to the top? On the gear box there is a fill hole on the top and another plug about 1/2 way up the inside but again no where that I can see to check it. Do I fill it to the top or until it starts coming out of the side hole?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

For the gear box, the plug on the side would be the fill level. Like you guessed, fill until it comes out that hole. As for the wobble box, I’m no help.

Thanks. That's a start. Something else I forgot to ask if it uses regular gear oil (80W-90) or something special.

I would be very surprised if it was anything other than standard 80W-90 gear oil, but don't know that to be fact.
