    Is there a sight glass for checking the oil level? Remove and tip over the machine?

    The sight glass is removable?

    They're a rare machine now! Could you give the previous owner a ring and ask him where the bung is?

    We had one of these about 20 years ago and remember there was a square plate on the side of the gearbox that had to be taken off.
    There is a YouTube video on a restoration of one of these that should help. Also there is a parts drawing and operators guide available on line too.

    Yeah I got the operators manual online. Amazone are good that way to be fair, but it isn’t too clear where to fill the oil

    Looking at the you tube video it seems to go in the plate at the top. no idea of the volume though.

    Well that’s convenient! :rolleyes:

    I think the original oil will have to do for another while
