You need to unscrew the breather hose angle fitting to fill the unit. Oil level screw is at 9-oclock position. Basically 1/2 filled with John Deere Low Viscosity Hy-Gard Transmission and Hydraulic oil. It doesn't fill up from the transmission . 👍

Depending on model the differential lock engages in tandem with the parking brake. If the differential lock cables have slack you have to raise the parking brake lever all the way to engage it, if it has lots of slack it won't engage at all, allowing one wheel to spin free when parking brake is engaged. Check this first and parking brake fluid level by removing the level plug on parking brake housing before replacing clutch packs.

You didn't remove the vent hose and add oil to the park brake housing. There is an oil seal that separates the park brake housing from the transmission housing and your new parts are now running DRY!!
