I have a Satoh Beaver III, S-373D (made by Mitsubishi). This is a 4 wheel drive model.

My question is about how the front axles are lubricated.

There are 3 plugs on the front end which appear to be for adding fluid: one on top of the left axle housing, one on the righ.t and a third on the front differential housing.

What fluid should I use, and how can I tell if enough fluid is present?

Can anyone recommend a good manual for routine maintenance? I have a very detailed REPAIR manual, but it's not so good for maintenance.

Thanks,

-GW

You've identified the correct plugs for adding lubricant. It takes 5.5 pints of 80w90 gear oil, The level plugs are on the wheel housings. I sell a operators manual which has detailed maintenance information. Bill - satohparts.com 1-800-609-5110 ....
