Hello Grumpy ,thanks for your quick reply, the information you supplied was a great help, I now know for sure what series transaxle it is, The way they describe how to check oil level is absolutely stupid, The length of the bellows has nothing to do with the true oil level. I still don't know what type of oil to run in each chamber, In the final drive side I think I will go with a light gear oil, In the pump / motor side I might use a true hydraulic oil. I have been in contact with a chap in INVERCARGAL lower South Island of New Zealand He has gone to the trouble of Tooling up to Recondiction Hydrostatic Transaxles. He prefers the complete unit so as it can be bleed correctly then he runs it in a test bench to check power output. His contact details are below :--- I don't think he will mind me posting it for others to use.
I checked out the wiring diagram and if you disconnect the switch under the seat it auto go to self cancell mode and directly to STOP / NO GO! Trap for young players. I would love to know if this series of transaxle has a history of losing power, Now I have confirmed the model I can do further research. The more imformation the better sEEYA!wES!
