C-85 8 speed transmission

The transmission on my, new to me, C-85 makes a whining noise and is low on lubricant.

What lubrication should I use, and could the low lubricant level be the cause of the whining?Thanks,Dave

yes low fluid is one cause for a whinning noise, a bad bearing could do it also, the drain is on the bottom near the back by the hitch a 1/4" allen wrench will remove it, fill with 2 qts of 80-90W gear oil, or something close to that.
