It walks through locating drain plugs and the vent/dipstick cap, notes the axle holds 2.16 gallons of 75-90 gear oil, and discusses why metallic break-in debris in the oil is worth watching for. Casual and unscripted, with a real spill included, most useful to T474 owners doing this service for the first time.
An owner-operator sharing hands-on, learn-as-you-go maintenance work on their own T474.
The TYM T474 front axle takes 2.16 gallons of 75-90 gear oil, per the video.
The vent cap, which also functions as the dipstick, is located only on the passenger side of the T474.
Yes, the video shows a lot of silver metallic debris at the 50-hour change, suggesting components are still breaking in and will continue until around 250 hours.
Remove the vent cap, loosen the drain bolts on both sides of the axle, let the oil drain into a container, then reinsert the plugs with pipe joint compound before refilling.
