Probably a dumb question, but...

I'm going to ask it anyway. I'm looking at purchasing an H, and while I've not physically inspected it yet, the pictures show what appears to be the handle of some sort of valve right below the battery box on the LH side. It is blue in color and looks like a water gate valve you use on a water spigot. Minus the spigot valve, these are for Hydraulics, right? would that perhaps be to drain it?

Pardon my ignorance but while I grew up with them and drove them around a lot as a kid, I'm still learning the technical details..

thanks,

Well a picture would be very helpful but there are a couple possibilities.

1. I believe an H has 2 pipe fittings sticking out the left side of the trans, it is in line with the belly pump. Maybe they were using the shut off valve as a pipe plug.

2. I believe there is a transmission drain plug under the battery box on the left side, this plug is directly into the transmission housing.

I'm not an H guy but I do have an M, they are very similar and I believe the above is identical. A picture posted will solve your problem. ~Anthony
 
I have H's but never use the hydraulics on them. But if memmory serves me right, the H has 2 hydraulic outlets on the left, and one on the right. The control rod for the hydraulics is to the right of steering wheel. One outlet on the left is a normal fuctioning outlet as the one on the right, the second left one is a delayed outlet. It will actuate in a delayed secondary mannner. All 3 outlets are one way action (meaning the return comes back through the same hose). 2 way cylinders won't work on this, only 1 way cylinders. Sounds like it might have some hydraulic fittings on there that are not original.
 
Thanks for both replies, this has been very helpful and has cleared up what these fittings are. I've seen hundreds of H's and never seen one with a spigot fitting on it...

thanks again!
