!977 B6000 Steering Box - no Fill Plug?

[warmblood58]

Hello All, my new to me 4x4 B6000 seems to have no square bolt filler plug for the steering box - I have seen other B6000's that have this fill plug. Would like to drain steering box via suction (hoping it is not full of water!) and then refill. Perhaps removal of a bolt will provide access?

Nope no fill plug on that one.
Try a bolt, but I don't know for sure.

I just checked kubota parts, and serial # 17450 and older do not have a plug. 17451 and newer have a plug on the left side.

Thanks Wolfman! I guess I could drill and tap on top and add a zerk
