checking the fluids

[gerrell]

Im trying to figure out how to check the fluids in the transmission and drives on a 440 icd dozer

[CELSESSER]

The 440 ICD should have the 5 speed transmission . The oil dipsrtic is on the top of the transmission front left corner. It is a knurled cap that you unscrew. It has a dipstic with level marks on it. The oil should look clear amber, not milky white(water contaminated).
The final drives have plugs for the fill and drain on the inside surfaces of the lower part of the finals. the drain is in the round bottom case and the fill is just above the seam of the lower round case and the main case. These plugs use either 3/8' or 1/2' square drive to remove and replace.
Both trans and finals use 80-90 wt gear oil.
If it has a dirrection reverser, That uses different oil(Typa A transmission fluid or John Deere Hytrans)
Get a service and parts manual. Best tool you can buy.
