Good evening,
I was going to follow the Ford manual to adjust pressures and bands on my 59 981. First step is check oil level. I pulled the plug and it was quite a bit over full. I worried I got water or something in there to cause it, but it was not milky. I then checked the dipstick on the hydraulic reservoir and the it doesn't register. When I used the tractor Saturday, the hydraulic reservoir was to the full mark. So, I think I found where the excess oil came from, but what could have failed to cause it?
Lube tubes? Seal?
I've been having issues of the low lube light coming on only in certain gears, so I was going to run through the adjustments to try and correct the issue.
Thanks for your advice.
Curt
