Hi Gang,
Changing all the fluids on our 1801DT (L185) there is a large bolt on the top of each side of the front axle tube. I assume to fill the front diff. Is that correct?

Also I seem to remember a bolt on the side of the transmission to show top level of the fluid. I removed a couple 12mm head bolts and see that they are pretty long but not sure where the correct bolt is.
thanks
hank
