It doesn't show anything at that link Bill.
If it has a drain, I still would open it the first time to make sure it
isn't full of gunk.

Just remember to leave the top bolt backed out, but still threaded in.
It keeps the cover from falling into the oil pan when you pry it off.
Also it's a good idea to change the fluid after a short run. Warmer
fluid drains more effectivly.

Re: Draining front differential CJ3B
Thanks all - the rear differential does have drain with 1/2" square socket.
The front one does not have any drain in bottom. At least this one doesn't.
I'm yanking the cover off and cleaning it out. Maybe I'll find the damn
thing then. Then on to knuckles, wheel bearings, finish brakes, etc...fresh
gas and it fired right up.
