I removed the belly pump on my Farmall Super M, and replaced it, after having a shop replace a leaky seal. I have it all back together, except for adding the Hydraulic fluid. I found some articles on here, which said that a Farmall H takes 6 quarts of 30W (non det) oil, or Universal Hydraulic fluid. (I'll be using the Univ. Hyd, because this gets connected to other machinery).
Anyhow, does a Super M also use 6 quarts?
This tractor does NOT have a dipstick.
My other question, the Fill Cap is meant to vent, for obvious reasons, but the vent hole is on the top of the cap. (See Image).
Since this tractor is left outdoors, wont rain water get into that hole? I know this hole is very small, but any size hole will allow water to get in.
I know that all these tractors came like this, but I am still concerned about this.
I'm trying to think of a way to put a cover over that fill cap, which will vent from the bottom, and still repel water. I suppose a plain soup can would work, but I'm sure that will rattle around, and may even fall off. Have any of you found a better solution for this?
Thanks for all help!
