I’m replacing my 79’ black belly 7060’s plastic washer seals on its rear-end’s 3 drain plugs(1 differential & 2 finals). Plus inserted new rubber ring seals on its hydraulic lines that go into filter’s housings. These are the lines from pump.
Question: while adding new XL821, I mistakenly over-filled it(3 gal?). New oil is so clean it was difficult to see in glass site gauges. So I drained excess from left final plug because a 5 gal bucket fit there easiest. After draining left final by 3 gal, site gauges are still reading full? So wondering if I just started engine should rear fluid equalize between diff & finals? Which begs another question; does trans pump circulate fluid thru filters & then to each compartments (finals/diff?? ) or does fluid drain/run into finals from the one diff area?
TIA

I'd have left the 3 extra gallons in there. Just start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes or drive it around the yard and then let it sit for 15 minutes minimum.
