I have a 54 Oval and I cant seem to identify where the filler plug is for the gearbox /transmission.
It does not seem to have the recessed allen key plug type that I see on Youtube and in the manual / google images etc.

On the LH side there are 2 positive plugs near together but i am presuming that these are nothing to do with the filling process?

There is a positive plug on the RH side and I am wondering if this the correct one .
Any help would be appreciated

Hello TJ-
Yes, the plug halfway up on the right side is the filler- these are pics of the filler on my '57. I think yours is the same or similar.

Those two are access to the selector forks for adjustment.
