It covers locating the fill, drain, and overflow plugs (wrench sizes included), draining both sides, and refilling with Super UDT2 using the level port rather than guessing quantity. Good for L Series owners wanting an unrushed, plug-by-plug reference rather than a quick overview.
An owner-operator (Elliot of Everything Elliott) documenting maintenance on his own Kubota L4701, not a dealer or sponsored production.
The fill plug is one inch and a sixteenth, which is about equivalent to 27 millimeters.
It uses Super UDT2, the same fluid used in the transmission, even though the dealership said gear oil could also work.
There is a level or overflow port behind the fill port. Fill until oil starts coming out of that port instead of measuring an exact quantity.
The drain plug on the axle housing is a 14 millimeter bolt.
