Identify this please.

Was prepping my Super M for bush-hogging my field yesterday and accidently put 30 wt. oil in the wrong filler. It immediately started leaking out of a hole under the tractor. My problem is that I have the complete manual for my tractor and nowhere does it tell me what this "hole" is. Hole is about the size of a nickel, not threaded and open without a plug or anything. I have pics of the area and I"m wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this. Does it get plugged, left open, or what? Pics are included with this post.

Perhaps others can deduce what hole you are talking about but, I could use an image with a pointer pointing to the hole you are trying to identify - or you could just describe its position relative to other parts of the tracter, per listed image - "in the first picture ..."
 
that hole is there for when the rear engine seal leaks or the trans. input shaft seal leaks the oil will run out and supposedly not get in the clutch. that oil level sticker is for the oilbath air cleaner.
 
You poured oil in the hyrdaulics, and spilled it over the side of the fill pipe. Itll come out of that hole. Real main leak will show up there as well. I dont see how the trans shafts leaking could out of that hole, since the belly pump is in the way, it would show up behind the pump. If you have to fill your hydraulics again, use a funnel. That oil "can" get on the clutch surface and burn it up.
 
My Farmall 504 diesel leaks some out of a hole like you describe and it is black like motor oil, not hydraulic oil. I have assumed it is a weep hole for a rear main leak. I have a new clutch kit and a rear engine main seal that I plan to install one day.
