The transmission has three plugs - a fill plug (on top, by the shifter), a drain plug (the lowest plug on the unit), and a level plug (ahead of the rear tire, I believe). The two plugs on the lower sheet-metal reduction gear housings are fill plugs - as the others said, you must remove the housing or suction out the oil to drain it. These reduction gear housings are not tied (with a liquid passage) in any way to the transmission. You may have to loosen or remove the drawbar to get to these fill plugs. When I bought my Super A, someone had filled the transmission almost to the top - about two gallons worth! I guess they didn't know about the fill level plug! The IH manual recommends diluting the trans. oil with one cup of kerosene in extremely cold conditions, and then changing the oil in the spring when it gets warmer. Get a copy of the owner's manual, and it will show you all kinds of interesting maintenance stuff you wouldn't otherwise be able to figure out on your own (even if you're a pretty good gearhead). I got mine at the IH dealership for less than $20. Steve
