Just got gearbox and transfer box back from reconditioned, gearbox is easy enough to fill and set the level but the transfer box don't have the plug on the side as shown in manual to set oil level. 

There is a bolt on back face by handbrake drum approx 7/16 or 1/2 head size, is that the level check 

Can someone help?

Whitehouse & son rebuilt it. There was some studs missing when I sent it to them, seized pins for transfer levers, seized handbrake actuator.

On return all new studs fitted, new handbrake expander, all pivot pins replaced and sticks even painted up. 

My boss who owns it said the box should be in a cabinet its so nice.

There should be a square headed plug in the middle of the back face of the transfer box - towards the lower edge.  Fill it through there until the oil flows out.  Its the same place as later ones - but has a smaller plug.

80in (but not the first) have a level plug on the side - in the region of the engine mount - nice when the thing's on the bench but in the vehicle its muddled up with the handbrake mechanism.

There's no square plug on the back. Only a 7/16 headed bolt head so after looking appears is the level plug 

Filler is on the top

Had fun and games doing rear crank seal as its been done before and silicone everywhere, dowl pegs come out slightly so bottom half of seal would not come out easy. 

Will get pics when I get around to fitting it as it's an In between job.
