front differential fill plugs

michael	hello, I just replaced the front differential oil on my yanmar 1700, the book said it should take approx 6 quarts, I filled with just about 4 quarts and ended up having to drain abit to get the dipstick to read correctly, my books dont tell me where all the fill plugs that there is for the front diff, I found the drain plugs which i counted ( 3 ) but am having touble trying to figure out where the fill plugs are. I did notice two ( 13mm ) bolts on both sides of the front tires but I am not sure these are where you fill with 90wt oil. this is on my yanmar 1700 4x4. I bought this tractor last year and it was a refurbished tractor. I have 64hrs on it now. I drained the front differ and only got out maybe a cup of oil, I did jack up the front end and turn the wheels and it still sounds good, but just need some help in where to fill with more oil. thanks for any help.
Danny	Pour it in where the dipstick is. Danny
Al	Not much room in there, so 6 qts doesn't sound right. To further preserve that system, engage it only when the ground's slippery.
Maury	I just finished this exercise on my 1610D. Drained from all three points and drained about 4.5qts and that is what it took to register full on the dipstick. The book only called for 3.16 qts. Drained about 2 qts from the differential and about 1 qt from each wheel gearbox.
