Best option is to remove the shifter. The side plug actually needs to stay in place because the oil level will be above it.

 

When you're changing the gear oil in a manual transmission you should try to get the front of the tractor as high off the ground as you can safely do so because there is a bump in the base of the transmission that will hold gear oil in the front half.

 

If what you drain out looks a lot like coffee with too much creamer or liquid caramel, you will want to do a flush with either diesel fuel or kerosene.

Add 2 qts of either one and  drive around for a few minutes using each gear. Drain that stuff out and put the new gear oil in.

 

While you're there install a new shift boot.

 

We'd like to see pics of your tractor.

You can also remove one of the bolts that hold the tunnel down to the transmission but will need to use a real small funnel or bottle with the tapered end. 

I like EB's idea better as then you can check the condition of the dog point set screw and reinstall properly.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I’m so glad I joined, my grandfather bought the tractor brand new in 69 and I have most of the OG paper work too. Thanks eb this was extremely helpful!

Glad to have you aboard.

 

I'm sure I can speak for at least a few of us when I say we would love to hear the story of that tractor considering it goes back in your family 50 + years.

      my 1067 stopped moving; limited slip had worn out long ago;  now input pully is turning , but tractor doesnt move --- very slight motion forward or backward if on level ground with no resistance.  Enough to tell me shift lever is actually changing gears.
      I suspect input shaft woodruff keys but might be something worse ... i am interested in perhaps buying a new, used,or rebuilt  transaxle if someone has one they would part with.  And any advice on opening up the transaxle and looking inside .  Or where i can find parts to rebuild it myself...

      I have a 12hp kohler that when its running it pops threw the exaust and you can see a small amount of flame in the muffler. What does this mean and how do I get it to stop? Thanks Paul

      I have not had to do this before and want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.
       
      Picture of bearing and seal is attached.
       
      Is the bearing supposed to fit in the groove of the oil seal or is the seal supposed to flush against the bearing?  I think the latter is correct?
       
      Thanks

      My cheap-o walmart U1 battery is starting to bite the dust again (barely able to crank it over fully charged, and ozzing everywhere) after 3 years on my 68' Raider and I am looking into a new battery for winter as I now have a plow setup. I was thinking of either getting the original 22NF battery that came with it or running a mazda mita battery which is a U1 size. Is the AGM worth the extra money over the 22nF even in the smaller size? I think the vibrations keep killing the cheapo batteries and I am trying to make sure I can leave it out in the cold and not have a problem starting in the winter. It does get down to 0F or below zero every once in a while. I don't think I want to go all the way to a 22nF AGM as it is $200. 
       
      Thoughts?
