Transmission oil volume

Last weekend I filled the transmission of my 1955 Fordson Major Diesel with new oil. The manual says that the volume is 20.4 litres but I only managed to pour in about 17 litres. The tranmission was fully drained. In fact there was no oil in it for a couple of months so all of the old oil must have gotten out (the tractor is under restoration and it has not been driven during this time in case anybody asks). Could there be an air pocket or something that prevents me from putting the remaining 3 litres of oil in it? The tractor has PTO.

You don't say whether its the front transmission or the rear but the Ford original worshop manual gives 20.4l front and 40.9l rear.

You are filling one near the clutch pedal and the other at the rear? There is nothing that can cause an airlock in either unit.

I meant the front transmission. Do you know what could cause this?
