Alright so I go to change my oil today and half way through realize that I just drained my SM465 tranny instead. I had been wondering why the oil looked so clean, anyway my dad is giving me a really hard time cause I was in a hurry and screwed up... again lol. Anyway I cannot for the life of me figure out how to refill the thing. I'm sure its something stupidly easy that I am just looking past but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks for the help guys and go easy on me please lol.

I dunno if this is the prefered way to do it, but I pulled my shifter out and filled it from there. I can't remember for the life of me how much gear oil it took though, its been over a year since I did this.

Certainly the easiest way however there is a plug on the side of the transmission that you fill through until it runs out.

It is not easy to see (took me 10 min to find it the first time), above the drain and to the front a bit I believe, uses a 3/8" square head to remove.

If you cant got the plug for the fill hole out, the top bolt on the PTO side plates are at tge same level as the fill plug.

Awesome, you guys are the best thanks so much again. I saw that plug and wondered what is was for and now I know. Cheers from Daytona!
