High Pockets: I have three of these little tractors. I have always kept them about 1" over full on transmission. I use a car dipstick, found the full level on that then added 1". The transmission runs much more quiet. I keep the port cleaned with a wire, and hopefully oil never gets to the brakes or final drives. I have owned 16 Farmalls in my lifetime and always ran all of them a bit over full on transmission-rear end. These 16 tractors were in size all the way from Super A to 1066. Over the years I had very little transmission problems. The hydraulic systems on the newer big tractors that drew hydraulic oil from transmission worked a bit better that way. In contrast to this NEVER let your engine crankcase get over full. Farmalls will pop engine seals quite quickly if over full. I always like to run my Farmalls very close to add mark on crankcase oil. I know how much you are enjoying this little tractor with blade. If you live in snow country, these are one mean little snow plowing machine. Years ago my dad had 300 and 130. Always plowed snow with 300 as bigger was better. A guy near us plowed his snow with a Super A and an A-60 blade. Dad always said that little Super A made the 300 look bad. I always said if I didn't have a big tractor around I'd plow snow with 130, and I do. When I moved here two years ago, I didn't realize this driveway was worst in neighborhood for snow. A neighbor offered to plow me out with his 150hp 4x4 Ford. I told him I would only disturb him if in trouble. Apparently the whole neighborhood found it amusing that I expected to keep plowed out with 130. The 130 prevailed, however the west winds prevail here also, so I will curb my confidence a bit. Maybe I've not seen the worst snow yet.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
