Nathan,
Regarding the hole you're talking about on the transmission (where you see the gears), if it's the on the left side of the tractor (facing front) and about a foot in front of the rear axle, that's the view port and level indicator; it's a 1/4" hole. When the transmission has the correct level of oil, the oil level should come to the bottom of that hole, or maybe just above it. The oil should be thick.

Here's what I do to drain water out of the transmission: I slowly "remove" the large plug at the rear bottom of the transmission case and let the water drain out - I keep the plug setting on the hole and rotate the bottom of the plug away from the hole until it makes a small crack for the water to seep out; I then screw it back in. There's also a small 1/4" plug at the front of the transmission, and I drain water from that as well. I've been blessed to not have water come out in the last couple of years.
