To change the fluid in the diff, you're gonna have to bust the cover off. Fill it up to ~1/4" below the fill line. I'm never that good, and just fill it to the line.

To drain the tranny, take one of the bottom bolts out of the PTO cover, and it'll come out there. The fill plug is a 3/8" allen head. Takes just under 4 litres to fill.

I'd imagine its a bit bigger to accomodate a PTO drive.
