Welcome to JUST ANSWER heavy equipment. With years of experience, I look forward to doing my best to help. The transmission housing and rear end housing is the hydraulic oil resovoir for the complete unit. The dipstick and filler is where the oil goes. Any auto supply or tractor supply place will have a compatible fluid that meets the John Deere specs. Good luck with your new purchase! Thank you.
