As per the TL-10 TRACTOMOTIVE PARTS and INSTRUCTION book I have. 1000 hour service for transmission, Capacity 19 quarts. Drain and refill. Drain plug located on the bottom of transmission. Refill to upper petcock level. For temperatures above 20 deg.F use SAE 20 oil. For temps 20 deg.F to 0 deg.F use SAE 20 oil (diluted with 25% kerosene) and for temps below 0 deg. use 5W-20 or SAE 20 diluted 50% with kerosene. That's as printed in the original 1957 manual. I'm sure there are some other options.
