You wont damage the seal through filling it all at once, it is just if the seal is worn then the oil will leak into the Clutch housing. But do check the oil level by removing the bottom screw out of one of the round side covers and allow any surplus to run out. Ignore any suggestions of running with only half the amount of oil in the transmission as this can cause overheating of the oil. The original oil (GL1) is outdated and the oil now recommended is a multi-grade 15W/30 which is a better lubricant and does not get thick and heavy when it is cold. As someone said said "ask an old fergy repairman what oil to use", you can"t get much older than me, I have been working on these tractors when they were still in production here in the UK and they finished in 1956. Multi-grade is a better oil for all year around. Weep holes are to allow any oil out of places that it shouldn"t be in. Sometimes when an oil seal or gaskets leak, you need to get rid of it before it does damage and that is what the weep hole is for. Every so often check both the cotter pins that they still turn easily and then the vibration will turn them as the tractor is running, not as the grass contacts it as someone suggested, some tractors do not go in long grass or even any grass so it always has to work.Just turn them a few times and they should be OK.If you have any problems with it or any questions ,just email me...John..fergusontractors@hotmail.com

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
