727 reverse failing.

A 300 psi pressure gauge, a length of hose with 1/8" npt ( not the parallel pipe thread you have there ) rated at the same and a good book or factory service manual can help pinpoint the problem. There are several pressure taps on the 727 case. I assume you're checking the level as it says on the dipstick - fully warmed up, idling in neutral, on level surface. You'll need a book for the pressure tests.
