There was a seller in the forum that sold an oil level indicator that you could mount on the gear box coverplate. I dont know if he still selling them? Once you got it tore down and repaired an oil level indicator would be a nice option. At least you'd know when the gearbox is low on lubricant. Hope this helps.

How exactly, step by step does one disassemble the gear box? Who knew you were supposed to check the gear box grease/oil once a year?
Now I need to replace the gears but do not knw where to begin!

?? evening folks . I have a HF 62377 that I bought used , I opened it
up to chek the oil & to no surprise there was none . so I dove into it &
the seal was wadded up wrapped around the shaft under the Brass gear
??? ??? on the drive wheel shaft , the manual show's different I cant
find the pic's I took with a different camera when I took it apart , so
here's a few pics of my parts & hopefully one of you pros can give e a
nudge in the right
??? ??? direction . I have the seal, shaft with a cir clip , (which
does not show in the parts list ) 2 bearings , 1 what looks like a
spacer for between the bearings or between 1 bearing & the seal ? & a
spacer t. I'm pretty sure that
??? ??? these parts all came out of the? machined cavity (that the
bearings & seal fit into ) between the retainer with the 3 screws & the
bronze or brass gear on the driven shaft in the gear box , I'm just
uncertain of the
??? ??? order they go
??? ??? tks
