Question:
I have a Husqvarna FT900 tiller. The problem is I see there is a fluid leak on the transmission (i.e. oil/grease) under the transmission.
My questions are:
1.) There is not much leakage, how much can leak before doing major damage to the transmission?
2.) I don't see a grease plug which would allow me to add grease. Is there a way to add grease myself and not have to go through the expense of taking it to a shop?
Thank you

Answer
These transmissions are sealed units. The sealing is done by crimping the outside edge of the transmission case. This makes it impossible to service it. Now you might a hole in the side and add a grease zerk but are taking a change of introducing metal shavings into the unit.

Thank you for the reply. I was thinking of drilling a hole and adding a grease plug. If I don't add grease, the life of the transmission wil most likely be exponentially less than if metal shavings get in.
