THM 125C and 1987 440-T4 (Figure 2)
When checking the fluid level on the 125C and 1987 440-T4 transaxles "COLD", a full transaxle will show the fluid level to be ABOVE the "full" mark.
This is the result of the fluid stored in the bottom pan when the transaxle is cold. As the transaxle warms to normal operating temperature, fluid is
captured in the side pan regulated by the thermo element, thus lowering the level to within the cross-hatched area.

1988 THM 440-T4 (Figure 3)
Note the appearance of the 1988 440-T4 transaxle fluid level indicator which has an extended cross-hatched area to include "COLD" level indication
when full. The "COLD" level checking procedure remains the same as with the 1987 transaxle.
FIGURE 4 - THM F-7
THM F-7 (Figure 4)
When checking the THM F-7 transaxle fluid level "COLD", a full transaxle will show just below the "FULL HOT" mark on the fluid level indicator. As
the transaxle warms to normal operating temperature, the fluid level will rise to the "FULL HOT" mark on the indicator.
