Yanmar SA223 1gal low tractor transaxle fluid, causing bad whine

Documents a real maintenance problem: a brand-new Yanmar SA223 delivered with the transaxle fluid nearly a gallon low, causing a noticeable whine. The video walks through the refill process step by step, showing the sight glass go from empty to correct level while the owner openly calls out the dealer for missing it during a third-valve install. Useful for SA223 owners suspecting a similar issue or wanting to know where and how to check transaxle fluid.
