Iseki 2101 front axle

[Mike Curry]

I have an Iseki TU2101 4WD. The front axle has an inspection port on one side. It has a square-headed plug and inspection port. Taking out the plug, there's a heavy grease filler, pink in color, for about an inch. Scooped that out to look. There's no oil in the axle cavity, just the 4WD drive shaft(s). Ordinarily, I would think it rates 80W, at least filled halfway up. But, with that special heavy grease plug, I'm wondering. Any opinions? Could it just be grease-filled? That doesn't seem right.

If nothing turns up here, there"s an Iseki forum on either tractorbynet or external_link that should be helpful (rearranged some notebooks and can"t find my forum index!). Good luck

TU 2101 seems to be a rare bird. I recall evidence of a leak from the right-side front wheel housing, and you can't get a leak if there's nothing in there to run out. I'll try the other forums, but if nothing turns up, 80W is going in.
