I was just into the back end of my Farmall B, and I'm assuming the transmission and final drives are identical to the A. The transmission and each final drive has their own unique gearlube supply. The plugs you see near each rear tire are the fill level holes for the final drives. I chose not to remove the lower housings on the final drives, and removed the old gearlube with a suction gun. I had to fish the suction gun hose in around the bull gear, but I think I got most of it out. The transmission has its own (6 quart?) gearlube supply, with a rather large fill plug in the top plate and (similar) drain plug on the RH side (toward the back, I think?). There is at least one other, smaller plug on the transmission and I'm not sure if it is a fill level plug or not. If you have a flat belt pulley drive, it also has a fill plug, but this drive unit shares gearlube with the transmission, and that fill plug isn't normally used. My Case-IH dealer says that the book recommends 80W-90 gearlube for both transmission and final drives. Hope this helps.
