There are seven different designations for the Model 40 Series tractor: C crawler, H high crop, S standard, T tricycle, U utility, V special, W two-row utility.
The designation letter will be on the serial number plate located on the left side of the tractor.
Take a look at the photo below of the serial number plate on "BW" our 54 Model 40T.
Note that there is no T for the tricycle tractor.
Check the oil level by opening the oil level test cock.
If oil does not "drip" from the oil level test cock, then add 10w oil at the filler cap located under the seat cushion.
Take a look at the diagram below.
Check the position of the left control lever (Key 9) and right control lever (Key 13).
Moving both levers to the front lowers the lift arms; moving both levers to the rear lifts the lift arms.
Take a look at the oil level test cock on "Audie" our 54 Model 40S located on the front of the Touch-O-Matic.
If oil does not "drip" from the oil level test cock, then add 10w oil at the breather cap located under the seat cushion.
Take a look at the diagram below.
Check the position of the control lever (Key 24).
Moving the lever to the front lowers the lift arms; moving the lever to the rear lifts the lift arms.
Hope this helps.
