Hi Brian
I have been informed that there is a plug 180 degrees from dip stick can be used to fill the tranny.

Good day Brian
Many parts can be sourced in the open market - relays - switch's and the like. Transmissions need to be identified often these can be sourced from sub suppliers or indeed machine dismantling yards. I do not know of an outfit in the USA that specialists in Hitachi parts. Engines are very similar to generator - marine spec. so these should not present any problem. On the HEF you have some very good John Deer tec. guys often they can give you a cross reference which may open another source for parts.Great if you could take a photo or two we do not have so much on filke.
Kind regards

Hi Brian
I cannot be sure what year's the EX75-3 UR relates to, I believe 1997 > 2001. As models get updates, they tend to be superficial & cosmetics, so there could be minor differences. PM me your Email if I should request a copy (It's digital to download)
Kind regards
