Jeff,
You have it right. The allen head plug near the bottom is the drain plug.
The one higher up near the top is the fill plug.
You fill just to where it begins to come out the fill hole, just like adding
gear lube to a rear differential on a car. The Hub City worm gear box
on my HDX589 takes one quart.

I assume you drain the oil out the bottom all I see is an Allen head screw
is that the drain?
Same on the top.. I assume again that is the fill.
Do you just fill to the top or is there a way to check the level? Tower is
UST HDX-555.
Thanks for any info

I was reading with interest the explanations of the lube needed for US
Towers. My TX455 has been up for five years now and, while I have lubed the
grease fittings regularly, I've never changed the oil. I want to do this
now
using SHC630 as K6UJ noted. However, before I order this, how much would
you
recommend I order? Would 2 quarts be enough to both flush the gear assemble
and refill it? I'd hate to have too little on hand after draining.
Thanks for your help.
