It cannot hurt to check any and all drain plugs, but logically, the 
water will settle at the lowest point in the system. The way some 
tractor drive systems are set up, you fill from a single point, but they 
are divided and need to be drained separately (transmission, 
differential, axles, etc.). After you are done, it doesn't hurt to check 
the fluid levels and top off with fresh fluid, if necessary.
