How to check and change oil

old · Apr 5, 2012

Oil pan should have to pet-cocks on the side of the oil pan. The upper one is for full and the lower one for telling you that you need oil. As for changing the oil you drain it just like you would any other tractor and up front on the right side of the engine is a I looking sort of cap where you add the oil that cap also looks like it has a bolt coming up in the center of it

Goggle it. Tons of info there.

Old, maybe I'm wrong, but as I recall from the "old days" the two petcocks on the old Farmall engine oil pans were originally used for the two fuel tractors where you were supposed to drain the oil off to the lower level in the morning following each days work and refill to the top petcock level with fresh new oil to eliminate the possibility of the oil being thinned by unburned fuel which accumulated on top of the oil in the crankcase. In any event you should keep the oil up to the top petcock level. Yes, you fill through the "eared" cover on the magneto drive housing on the right side of the engine near the timing gear housing.

You are correct about the petcocks, but today they are used as Old says. If oil runs out the top one it is full, if it does not run out of the bottom one you should add oil. However, I'm not saying that means it is a quart low as the dipstick shows on most later tractors.

Since no one else said it, I will. They hold 6 quarts and when changing the filter, be sure to dig out the O-ring and replace it with the new one that comes with the filter.
