How much grease to pack in a diff

[landuse]

I have a diff which I have taken appart and cleaned. There wasn't too much grease in the diff when I took it apart, and I am not too sure how much to put back in. Do I fill it all the way to the top, halfway, a third???? Should I just cover the gears?

Thanks in advance for the advice

I don't know which model diff you have, but my Tecumseh-Peerless manual specifies 3oz for all its models.

Is that a tecumseh peerless 100? My dad has one on a cattle bedding machine.
We packed it completely full of grease. Dunno if thats right tho.

doesnt need much . but if you want it to be tighter and act like a limited slip you can fill it most of the way with thicker greese. also make sure and use all 4 bolts in it or the spider gear pin will wallow out the aluminum cups it sits in and mess up your case.
