Okay yall, I get the D.A. award of the day. I drained my tranny and then realized the hex that I thought would fit doesn't, and that was the largest one I have. My quesion is what size hex does it take?
Thanks yall, hope the coffe spray on the screens comes off easy

17mm is the size of the hex on the NV5600 6 speed...lesson number one, don't remove drain plug until you are sure that fill plug can be removed!

I have heard that if you are really in a bind you can remove one of the top PTO cover bolts and fill through there...not sure if it is true and not sure how the fluid level correlates to the correct level...just a suggestion if you are now stranded!

As far as the coffee spray...at least it's the window screen and not a nicely painted white wall!

I took a grade 8 bolt and welded it in center of my plug, now I just use a wrench!
