Covers drain plug locations (mirrored left/right sides), the correct spec (80W-90, 3.2 qt), and a practical fill tip: add 2.5 qt first, check the dipstick, then top up, skipping that step means draining excess back out. Also notes metallic powder in the right-side hub and flags a venting concern. Useful for SA324 owners approaching this same service interval.
An owner-operator documenting routine maintenance on their own tractor, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation evident from the transcript.
The manual calls for 80W-90 gear oil and says it takes 3.2 quarts.
They are mirrored: the right side drain is in the front and the left side drain is in the rear, since the axle ends are mirrored.
Put in exactly two and a half quarts, then check the level and top up from there, instead of putting in three quarts and draining excess back out.
The owner found fine silver powder in the right side hub during its first oil change and expected it from normal break-in, with the fluid otherwise looking fine.
