I just bought a '53 Super C and can't see a dipstick. If it has none how do I check the oil level?
I don't have a manual yet and want to service the oil now before using it in my garden.
Thanks kindly.
Bob

Only problem with checking the lower one is that if you have an oil burner, check the lower and oil drips out, run it half a day and you could be low on oil. My advice is that it should run out the upper. As mentioned do not overfill. Add 1/4 1/2 quart at a time. If it has only light use and it does not burn oil, do as you wish.

There are two oval shaped wing bolts on the side of the oil pan. The higher one is for the "Full" level of oil and the lower one is the "Add" level which is one quart low. the "wings" turn counter clockwise and may be pretty tight as most folks tighten them with a pliers so a pliers is usually needed to loosen them. Back off the lower one about 1/2 to 1 turn and, if the oil drips, it's ok. When filling it up afte a change or if it's low, open the upper one and when the oil drips then you are full. Retighten and you are good to go.

Look on the side of your oilpan. There are two petcocks, crack open the lower petcock and see if you have a drip on a level surface. If so you should be OK. If you have oil coming from the upper petcock, let it drain down before using the tractor.
