Wanting to drain the trans and give it a flush but am having issues getting the fill plug removed any advise would be awesome!
That’s not the drain plug, what you’re looking for is on the ring gear cover down low on the transaxle.
This is the fill plug correct? Just want to know I can get oil back into it after I drain it. And not having it stuck in a place with no trans fluid. never seen a plug like this.
Sure doesn't look like a fill port but maybe? Was that standard bolt in there or you put it in? Never seen a fill plug with long fine threads. Looks like something else may go there too because of the smaller threaded hole. I'd expect a fill plug on the top but some are on the side. I think there a couple 503 owners on the forum that could help you.
The drain and fill plug are both on the ring gear cover plate. You’re looking at one of the counter shafts I think. The transaxle doesn’t hold much oil and doesn’t oil the main shaft unless the machine is in gear moving. Excessive idling in neutral is not a good idea.
Thanks for the info. I did put the bolt in there 1/2" x 20. everything I have read on it, says it should be roughly half way up the transmission. This is the only thing I can find that seems like it would be a place to add fluid.
This is the only place I can seem to find that looks like a fill plug. Located on the back side of the transmission housing half way up. Drain plug located on front right hand side. Thank you for reaching out
Does the hole go into the trans. or is it a blind hole? Looks to have a bunch of crap in the bottom. I'd think a fill hole would be completely open to see inside. It could be a fill hole but you really need to find a manual or someone more familiar.
