New to the group and Wheel Horse mowers. Looking for some in put on drain plugs on hydro pump and transaxle.. would like to service them before  run it to much.

If the machine has the Eaton 11 (has a spin on oil filter on the left side under the seat pan) the drain plug is the main plug located under the rear housing and requires a 1/4" hex wrench.

 

If it has the Eaton 7, (no oil filter) This transmission has two separate oil compartments. One is the hydro (10w-30 oil) that is dedicated to hydro pump and is captive. The other is rear gearing lubrication. Takes 80w-90 and drains from the main plug located under the rear housing and requires a 1/4" hex wrench.

 

The Eaton 7 hydro system can be drained and refilled.

The drain plug is an o-ring plug located under the pump unit on the right side.

I have always found the Eaton 700 in the ***A tractors and the Eaton 1100 in the ***H tractors.

Come on Ed, you know they wouldn't make it that logical. In the case of the 1985 314A it is a 700 but the 417A and 418A both came with the 1100 and the 516H had an Eaton 700.  The only hard and fast rule with Wheel Horses is there are no hard and fast rules.
