Took me four hours to remove the mower deck, remove transmission, drain, refill, re-install transmission, re-install mowerdeck and take it out for a quick test run. IMHO it is a very easy and straight forward job. No special tools are needed whatsoever unless you consider snap ring pliers a special tool.
Tuff Torq says to use a 10w-30 non detergent oil but suggests that a fully synthetic 5w-50 be used. I refilled with full synthetic 15w-40 since I had some spare laying around.
I didn't take a bunch of pics during the process. Just these.
THis is were you drain and refill from.
Refill 3/4"-1" below the lip where the plastic cap goes.
Don't forget to reinstall the magnet.
