Until now all the Farmall I used had the vent cap for filling the hydraulic oil. Now I've seen two that have extra hydraulic equipment and they just have pipe fittings for caps. No vents.
My manual only mentions closing the vent in the section about the remote control (a.k.a. Christmas tree valve).
What was the function of the vent? Other than maybe letting humidity get in?

I found a dipstick listed on the H schematic in IHC's MyShed. Must have been original. Though I'm sure there was aftermarket ones made.

Most of those dipsticks got lost or were tossed a long time ago. They were mostly just a nuisance.

Ah so the H I just bought shouldn't operate a single action because a previous owner just put a pipe cap on it.
I'll have to have another look at it too because I don't remember a dip stick.

You need a vented cap when using single action hydraulic cylinders. Close it when switching to double action when using IH christmas tree valve.

Also, original cap had a filtering element in cap. The original dipstick had a venting washer on dipstick so that filter (cotton waste) would not get sucked into pump. Instant pump failure when that happens.
