Hi,I drained out all the hydraulic/transmission oil from the 3 drain plugs (transmission, hydraulics, and rear diff) on my TEA 20 over the weekend, because I could tell that water had gotten into the oil, probably from sitting outside over the years. The oil was a very odd yellow in colour, very similar to the colour of egg yolk. I was wondering if anyone knows what this oil might have been originally. I am changing it over to Duratran XL sold by Petro-Canada, because I want to use the tractor in the winter to do some snowblowing. I have a simple question as I do not yet have a Service Manual. Are all 3 - transmission, hydraulics, and rear diff - filled from the one location which is the large plug on the top of the transmission cover, next to the gearshift? I just wanted to make sure that I have not overlooked another filler plug. I also have a question about the starter switch. Should the starter switch have some sort of interlock that prevents it from engaging once the engine is running? A few times I have inadvertently engaged the starter when moving from Reverse back to 1st? Thanks, Richard
