Thank you all in advance for your help.
I have a 420, I am changing the oil for the first time. I drained the crankcase. The oil smelled of gasoline.
I just got the carb back on, I had it rebuilt by the good folks at YT and have not even hooked the gas line back up yet. This tractor has been sitting under a shed for over a year. We had a lot of health problems that limited my outside activities(Wife had 4 surgeries last year).
That being said, the oil seemed really thin also. I took off the filter case. There was no seal at the bottom of the case also there was no "lower sealing plate" under the filter. Is this completely needed? I have had no problems with leaks at the oil filter case at all. Please help, I am trying to get this tractor back on "The Road".
Thanks again Dsmythe
