Check Brian's oil spec. posts at top of this forum for correct oil. I have a Power Major and there are two drain plugs, one for trans. and one for rear end. You'll need to be ready for a lot of oil that will drain out. There is a filter in rear end.

The front gear box holds 20.43 liters and the rear end holds 41 liters. I doesn't use gear oil, check Brian's oil specs., like Gman said.

No filter in the front transmission, but there's a hydraulic filter in the rear end. You will see a round cover on the bottom of the case with the drain plug in the middle of it. The filter is under (above) that.
