The plug that is in the back on yours would be the drain, and most of the time the plug that is in the lower middle front on yours is the vent which had a tube running to the side of the crankcase for ventilation. Im not all that familiar on how they did them on the LP models, but Im sure someone else on here will know more. I dont know everything....but I know enough to be dangerous.. :) [Reply]   [No Email]

I found pictures of mine just before dismantel and there is a line from lower center of block (on distributor side)to the tank. My big question is does the Hyd tank use same oil as engine?? This tractor had not run for 30 yrs when I bought it and its been 60 yrs since I drove one Tony   [Reply]  [No Email]

Anyone else have an idea? The engine oil is different than the Hydraulic oil. I believe the hydraulic oil was originally what they called "Type 55" which was eventually superceded by type A transmission fluid or equivilent (Dexron II & III, Im guessing). Do you have any pictures you can post before disassembly?   [Reply]  [No Email]

I wonder why they changed them on the later ones, maybe the later LP tanks were slightly bigger? Anyone have an idea?   [Reply]  [No Email]
