Mowing John Deere 790 with Mid-Mount (Belly) Mower

[kennyd]

I have a question about gear oil in my mmm MF2310. I have been servicing this tractor myself. It is a 08' model and I bought it new June 2010. I checked the gearbox on the mmm and the fluid is below the top but pours freely out of the drain hole. It looks very thin, but clean. I did not get a service manual with it and it is not marked anywhere on the gear box what weight to use. Suggestions?

90w gear oil is what you want.

Now, I don't have the service manual for your mower but based on my past experience, the oil level should be to the bottom of the side plug hole. If you fill it all the way to the top, you'll develop leaks past the seals.

Ok, another question...I notice that my belly mower on my 790 is no longer level. How do I level it?
