where is differential fill hole
My new (used) 2006 txt electric has a oil drain plug at bottom of differential but there seems to be no fill hold/cap. Also, there are signs of oil leakage around the motor connection to the diff. Help

The hole from underneath has a collar around it. It allows the oil to remain about 1-1.5" deep right at the ring gear. It slings it around. It probably won't drain anything if you remove the plug. I had to pull the pan.

Re: where is differential fill hole
Thanks for the answer. I would like to remove the pan since this cart is new to me so that I can inspect the gear. I do not find any type of gasket listed for this pan. Should I use liquid gasket when I reinstall? thanks.

Yes on the liquid gasket, I didn't and I will have to redo it or put up with the minimal spot on the garage floor. Which I am not going to do.

Re: where is differential fill hole
I backed mine up on car ramps to give me plenty of room to work on it.
It has about 12 or so 1/2" bolts holding the differential plate on. Unloosen those and remove all except the rear two. Have a container to catch the fluid when you break the plate loose and then remove it all together. Clean both surfaces really well and use a liquid gasket maker and put back together. Remove the drain plug and put in about 10 oz of 10w 30w oil. I used a pump that fits onto a plastic oil bottle. Safety first!! be sure you are centered on the ramps, brakes are locked and front wheels chocked. |
