Oil Change

I've got a question for everyone. I just started renting a house and the landlord has an old Allis-Chalmers (I believe it is a C) lawnmower. I want to change the oil and get it ready for the season. The only problem is that I'm not sure what size oil filter it takes, or what oil to put back in it. Also, the hydraulic lift for the mower doesn't seem to be working, any suggestions for that?

Thanks

you can get a filter at NAPA or local farm center, or AGCO. Engine oil is same as your truck, 10W-30. Transmission, PTO and hydraulics are all the same cavity, fill by your left foot in the 1 inch pipe plug. 3 drains on the bottom, all 1/2 inch pipe plugs. Probably has some rain water inside and sticking valves. First thing to do is drain and refill with trans-hydraulic fluid. Buy at WAl Mart 10 quart plastic containier for $10. (20W-20 ) work it around and flush out the cylinder and valve spools and hope for the best. You know there are two levers for operation? THe one on the right rear alxe, pull up and the PTO shaft will turn (also drives the hydraulic pump) then the one under your left side of seat makes the cylinder go up and drop.

Hi Steve/John

Was reading the forum this evening, (catchin' up) and I came across your conversation of a couple of days ago.

We've got our little C back in fine, running form, and John, when I went to see about changing the oil filter, there was an Autolite filter on it
(I believe....trying this from memory now....the number was 4007). It has a special spin on threaded lip to it (sort reminded me of an old mason jar...turn the jar upside down with the lid on the table and this became the "holder" for the oil filter with the jar being the element)...anyway....I went to our local tractor supply store here in St. Joe, Michigan and he pulled it off the shelf. So it's not a big deal.

Steve, a question for you. You talked about the transmission/hydraulic fluid and it's servicing. This is next on my list, and I think I understand what you told John about it, but were you suggesting that you drain the old oil, refill with new, run it a bit, then drain it again and refill? Is there any danger in cavitating the hydraulic pump? And this trans-hydraulic fluid..is it a delcon (think this is what I'm trying to say) or Ford, or does it matter? Or is it something else altogether.

Sure enjoy talkin' and readin' the forum. You fellas have a nice day. We're getting anxious to get some of the vegetables and flowers planted, but we had a dusting of snow Monday after Easter!

Dave
