Check oil in transmission, the gauge should be on the left hand side of the engine, it usually is next to the engine dipstick you will have to take the side panels of to see the engine compartment. Hydraulic oil tank should be on the left side also.If your machine is before 1991 you might have to to open the hood and there is a gauge on the left hand side and a cover at the top full hydraulic oil until it is level in the gauge.
