L4400 front axle drain question

[Greenfield Dave]

I need to perform the 50 hr service to my L4400 front end. (WAAY overdue) I removed the plug on the spindle, but there's only a drain on the left wheel. How does the fluid from the right spindle drain? also, any suggestions on how to get it to drain faster (other than removing the fill plug)? It's 90 weight fluid, and the drain plug is 3/8"...very slooow... Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Look again there has to be a drain on the R/H axle. Otherwise there needs to be a trip to the dealer for a manufacture defect....no ability to drain axle.
Yes just pull the filler plug to help in draining but it will take it awhile to drain out.
