Marked it to match the pipe plug levels. It could be reached from the top when a mounted picker was on it . Sure beat sliding in under the picker to use the check plugs. I did this about 1958 or so, worked great. clint [Reply]  [No Email]

It"s the triangle plate on the bottom side of the motor. Undo the bolts, pull the screen out, (it"s a long metal tube that fits into the oil pump). You"ll be amazed how much sludge is on that thing.

Old DC engines should have a hand cover taken off and ciean the oil pan out. Cast iron pan makes for condensation and lots of sludge! [Reply]  [No Email]
