Sorry to have to ask, but I'm tractor ignorant as of present, but I am learning! Up to now the only thing I've ever run was a 10hp rear engine Murry riding lawnmower. I've got a 1949 Case SC now, and I'm in the process of learning what makes it tick. I'm going to order some manuals for it, in the mean time I'd like to check on the oil. Can anyone please tell me where the oil fill is located? I do not see any dip stick, I do see a round cap near the front of the block, down near the bottom. If you are seated on the tractor, it would be on your right side. There appears to be a breather tube in the top of the valve cover. The oil pan has two petcocks on the right side, I assume these are for draining? So how does one go about checking and changing the oil? Does it take straight 30 weight? How about the transmission oil? Where would check the level and condition of that? Does that take a different type? Any and all help appreciated.

Engine - 5 quarts 30W non-detergent oil (I use Access from Walmart). The detergents in modern oil will gum up your engine.
Transmission - 9 gallons - 90w. Some recommend using multi viscosity rear end grease (80w-140 for example) because it will keep things better lubricated year round. My 48 S is stored for the winter months so I just use 90w.

If someone installed petcocks on the right side of your oil pan they did so to replace the standard pipe thread plugs that came on the tractor. You should open the top one and add oil through the cap in front of the mag until oil begins to come out. Close the petcock and stop adding.

These old engines will use some oil, but if you keep the level up it will run forever. I drain and refill my engine oil once a year (only put about 50 hours on it each summer to mow), but check it regularly and add as needed.

Okay, got another question. I changed my oil today in my SC. First time since I bought it last June or July. I've been reading that the capacity is 5 qts. Mine took 6 qts before oil any came out the top petcock in the side of the oil pan. So which is it 5 or 6 qts? Is 6 qts over filled? Or am I fine at 6 qts?

Using detergent oils will not gum up anything!!

No dipstick... the 2 "petcocks" that you refer to on the right side of the oil pan are for checking the oil level. Remove upper one and some oil should run out if it is at proper level. Lower plug serves same purpose when using "low cost fuel". Some of these tractors had a 2nd fuel tank under the hood just behind the radiator cap. Those had a different manifold too. To fill oil remove cap on governor housing just in front of magneto on right side.

There will be engine oil in the cluch housing as the earlier Cases have wet clutches. When changing your oil you need to be sure and drain the clutch housing as well. It will fill itself back up from the crankcase when running; so you need to top it off after you run it for a bit.

My SOHIO chart for SC says 5 qt capacity. Says to use 5W for below 10 degrees, 10W for 10-32 degrees, 20W for 32-90 degrees, 30 for above 90.
Transmission capacity is 83 quarts of 90. Check level at filler plug on back of tractor.

I don't know how you are going to get 20 3/4 Gallons of 90 in the transmission of a SC!!!!! I was thinkin more like 7 1/2 gallons.

What was I thinkin'? I knew it held a lot... but 83 quarts is ridiculus! I just assumed the units were in quarts (like the column for engine oil). A closer look shows that the capacity of the tranny is listed in "lbs". So it is 83 pounds! Which is what... 9 gallons or a bit more, I guess
