Tim2809 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 It must be , there is nothing else there . It's probably a hex head tapered BSP plug . Where did you get it rebuilt out of interest ? cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim2809 Posted November 28, 2019 Author Share Posted November 28, 2019 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.

steve b Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 It does look very tidy , looking forward to seeing some pic's of it in place cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 It is the level plug on the back 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
