I was under the impression that both routes for rear oil would deposit oil in the same place due to the shared resevoir. Where does the oil go from rear axle fill hole vs. the side fill hole?

They are two seperate compartments and there is a seal on the large gear to the pinion and the PTO drive shaft.

Look at your tractor and you will see the oil levels on the gearbox filler plug and it is far higher than the marks on the rear axle dipstick.

If either of the seals fails, the oil will transfer from the gearbox to the rear axle leaving the gearbox empty.

i put 2 gallons of 90w in the transmission & it stopped all the noise but do not see the oil level plug- thank you very much - if you have any questions about draft horses, which is my expertise, I would be more than happy to help you out! I love this tractor alot -it really helps me out with my chores & my farming, little enough to clean out horse pens, big enough to plow our wheat & beans with as plowing is my major time consumption- am used to farming with horses - one filler hole - easy to see! and the level hole is in the back! real easy to see- (horse joke) thanks again -til next break down- will be checking in regular as you have really helped me - this new computer thing in real cool- living in the woods of far north Idaho where nobody knows what a fordson-major tractor is - it is nice to be able to discuss problems in a timely manner with someone so knowledgable.
thanks mark, horsefarmer

Happy to help. Glad its going now but it takes about 4 gal. in there. Level is marked on the outside of the filler plug where it screws in. Probably covered with gung. That tractor is just like a horse! It let you know when it needed "feeding", it stopped work!!

Just spotted your plight,I have one that ran without oil for god knows how long but with little adverse effects.Another good tip is to keep a stong antifreeze/inhibitor in the coolant as they are prone to corrosion around the engine cylinder liners this can be terminal
