SOS Unused Holes

64frd4000ind · Feb 10, 2015

Got a quick question on the SOS.

I never realized these three holes went through to the bellhousing around the clutch. The bottom one has a matching hole on the other side, the bottom ones were filled with silicon to seal them off, but the top ones were just full of dirt/sludge.

My question is, do I need to make sure they are sealed when I assemble the tractor, or are they meant to be open?

I would assume introducing moisture to the clutch would be a bad thing? I know I pulled all kinds of crap out of the bellhousing, grass, mud, etc...

They can be left open or put corks inem. Used to mount implements.

As stated used for implements such as one arm loader
brackets, sickle bar mower mounts.
Likely a craft store might carry the 5/8" width cork
you would need or just put a 5/8" bolt in. I leave
them empty and let the mason bee fill them up. keeps
the threads in good shape plus good for pollinating
the garden.
