d17 PTO Oil

1) the PTO/Hand clutch oil is checked by the nut/dipstick just to the left of the shifter but no where does it say where the drain plug is. I need to drain it because it is milky looking. it says it holds 8 quarts is that correct?

2) I have a swartz (sp) front end. the problem is it will not turn very sharp at all and I always have to back up and do many things like that in the field. I found that the steering arm will not stay tight on the gear up front and was dragging on the plate below it. I was able to hammer it up in place thinking it was binding but it was not. It still will not turn like it is suppose to. It turns sharper to the left than the right. Any suggestions?

Thank you!!

The steering arm (stock Allis Chalmers) should be attached with a roll-pin through the ouput shaft. It's possible that the arm was not put on in the right orientation and the roll pin may have been left out. This may be the reason it can go further one way than the other and that it is laying down on the plate below.

Another, less-likely reason, is that someone has worked on the internal steering gears and not aligned the mating gears correctly when assembling.
