TS 1610 GLF front drive axel fill level

[jwscott]

I can find only one plug on the front drive axel of my Iseki TS 1610 GLF, it is on the top of the axel. Do you fill it all the way to the bottom of the plug or is there some other way to determine the oil level. And is there a drain plug somewhere I am missing? I would like to drain the old oil and put in new.
Any information someone could provide would be appreciated. Thank you.

The manual I have says, "Check oil through axle fill hole. Oil Level should be to the top of the axle inside the casting."

The figure in the manual shows the axle fill hole on the top of the housing.

The manual is for the TS1910/F.

Don't forget about the the gearboxes behind the wheels. They have their own plugs and oil supply.

Thanks for the tip. I assume I have to remove the wheels to access the plugs. Right?

I'm pretty sure those gearboxes behind the wheels are supplied with oil from the front axle housing. That's what the operator's manual indicates. Fill the front axle housing to the top of the axle and that's it. I'm pretty sure those are just drain plugs, at 180-deg. apart, on the gearbox covers that allow you to drain the front axle / front differential / wheel drive gearboxes. I had it all apart once and I don't remember any seals between the front axle housing all the way to the wheel bearings. Just open cage bearings.
