TC33DA front axle fluid

[Hughman]

Rookie question as this is my first fluid change in the front axle. I'm working on a 2006 TC333DA. The manual show capacities of 1.5 qt for the diff and .85 qt for (each?) reduction gear. There are drain plugs on the front diff (center) and on the bottom of each reduction gear. The question is do the reduction gears refill from the front axle or do I fill them separately? I don't see any other fill plugs other than the one on top of the axle.

I just changed my TC 34DA and used the fill hole on the axle, I think that's what my manual said.

My 1700 had fill plugs on the reduction gears as well as the front axle. They were easier to access after front tire removal.
