Hi Al! Now, on my model 1211I had tried to fill the trans through the relief valve and what a episode that was lol! Same thing happened to me.... oil everywhere! What's not to like about my model is that there is no fill hole in the rear cover, ( something that's worked for decades) so it was a long, painful process to refill through that tiny little "dip-stick" tube they got going on. I was not about to break the new seal I made for the rear cover.
Hi John ! yea when something works it seems like someone always comes along trying to reinvent the wheel ! I guess a separate sight glass for level and an angled fill plug would have been ideal but hey ya can't have everything !
