Picked up a John Deere 420C Loader

This is my first tractor, trying to get some proper maintenance done before I start putting it to work. Figured out where the transmission oil fill plug is, not having the same luck locating where the hydraulic fluid reservoir even is/where to drain and fill it or check a dipstick. Can only really find videos for that on the dozer variant which has a different reservoir and hydraulic setup.
