These tractors use what is known as an "open center system". The oil flows from the pump to the PTO valve, to the Travel/Lift valve, to the oil cooler and back to the reservoir, ready for another trip through the pump. The lever on the PTO simply diverts 100 percent of the oil flow to whatever attachment is connected to the valve.
Either way, all of the oil flow ends up leaving the PTO valve and going to the Travel/Lift valve where a portion can be used to raise or lower attachments and either all of the flow can be sent to the drive motor or just a portion.
The oil is in constant circulation, ready to go to work for you at the flick of a control lever.
When you first connect up that tiller, remove one quick coupler on the tiller and stick the hose into a bucket. Then with the engine idling, open the PTO valve and flush out the tiller motor and lines. For the cost of a quart of oil, it isn't worth risking contamination to your system.
While the tiller will rotate in both directions, the tines are only sharpened on one side. If you are tilling hard ground, then the rotation direction is going to matter.
Even the PTO kit should be flushed out prior to installation for the same reason. The lines or hoses can be cleansed with solvent or with fresh diesel fuel. There is so little oil in the valve itself, it isn't worth bothering with if the ports look clean inside.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
