There should be 2 covers when you take the floor board out. The one in the middle of the machine is automatic trans. fluid, outside is hydro. fluid.

If you have the serial number PM Oldseabee on here and he can help with the manuels.

The hydraulic tank is on the left side under the floor. Above 0 Deg. F use 10W engine oil or hydraulic oil. Real cold areas down to -30 Deg. F use Dexron (not dexronII). If you have another fill place that looks like a small can on top of a tube, take the lid off and there should be a strainer. this is where you add transmission oil. 30Deg. and above use 30W engine oil, -10 Deg. and above use 10W engine oil or C-2 hydraulic oil, -30 Deg. F and above use Dexron (not Dexron II).
