Hydraulic oil and Transmission oil?

Three questions: in explanation:
I feel rather foolish asking questions like these and others I have posted, but to me the manual is fine, if you’re familiar with these tractors. Kind of like the Chilton’s manual for Cars.

Remove the domaflatche located above the Hodaki. Never explaining to a novice where the picture taken is located if there is even one. If there is a picture taken it’s so close up you can’t figure out where on the engine the Doma. or Hoda. is located. 🥵🥴

From what I can see (Maybe understand) in the operators manual the hydraulic oil and the transmission use the same oil.

1. Does the hydraulic oil and the transmission use the same oil?

2. If they are, I am assuming you only add Hyd. oil to the fill hole, centered above the top cylinder arm for both the transmission and the hydraulics. Is that correct? Fill hole arrowhead in the picture below.

3. Can someone please take a picture of the Site Glass for the Hyd. Oil. Far enough away that I can find where it is located. I do know what a Site Glass is and what it looks like. I read about people checking the site glass or adding dye so you can see it in the Site Glass. I can’t find anything anywhere in the operators manual that talks or shows a picture of a Site Glass.

Thanks for the reply greatly appreciated.
Ok great, that was what I was wondering. You answered both questions. I couldn’t find any site glass. Now I know there isn’t one. So now all I need to do is put the red dye in so I can see it on the dipstick. My eyes aren’t what they used to be and I’m starting to get Macular degeneration. Thanks for the response I’ll go out and put the dye in as soon as I can locate my large syringe so I can put it in without getting on anything else. 😄

I just bought my dye a week ago at Erinburg, Az. John Deere dealer. (928) 923-9611 Might be able to have them order it in and then ship it to you.

Here’s a tip I found out when I got some of the dye on my hands when opened the can to check it. I had read in the forum to wear Med. Gloves when using the dye because it stains the skin and takes a log time to wear off (of course I do didn’t). I thought ohhhh crap that’ll take forever to fade out. Put some fingernail polish remover or (100% acetone) and it wiped right off no problem. I have used 100% Acetone to clean off many different problem. Worked great on the dye.
