On a B1550 HSD with Bi-Speed turn, how much oil does the front axle and both hubs hold? I filled them with what the book says, but that did not seem like it was as much that was drained out. There is no dipstick or sight glass to check the level. Does anyone have any opinions?

Just fill to the level the book says. Many times we find oil over filled or under filled do to leaks. ....

I have a B1750, Bi Speed, yada yada...virtually the same machine, merely a little more HP. The problem that arises with overfilling a cavity with oil is , that as the oil heats up with use, it will want to expand. If the chamber in which it is located does not accomodate a void for the expansion measure, it'll be working on the seals/ gaskets , etc. then you'll be noticing oil on the floor / ground beside your tractor.
This is a common misunderstanding, one may want to fill the respective reservoir more, but you will be creating more problems for oneself. Hydraulic fluid vs. gear oil expands at a rate much higher and faster than that of gear oil. Different topic,different day.
All this, just to say I agree with the book, and Art.
