Farmall Super C fluids

Where are the axle and trans. filled? On the deck plate by the base of the shift lever is what appears to be a fill plug. Is this for the trans or the trans and the axle? If this is a fill plug it's going to be difficult to remove as its quite worn. Any suggestions or alternatives to this plug?

What is the recommendation for the various fluids, oil, trans, axle? What engine oil is best as to weight? Is a synthetic blend oil advisable?

What's the recommended mixture for the radiator? This tractor has previously been very much worked but has also probably sat for considerable periods. Are there any recommended additives that would really help in regard to prolonging the current various seals?

I got this tractor to put it right to work this weekend and hope to use it for at least 100 hours before needing a major tear down. I won't have time to send away for the big manual so any help with these questions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed

If this is a drain plug and not a level plug (like the two motor oilpan units)how do I monitor the correct oil level in the trans/axel/pto unit?

Do you have a thought about using synthetic blend oil in the engine?

Final question, any idea of what a reasonable labor charge would be to replace a broken axle on a C?

Thanks, Ed.

You're right about liking the Super C. It's an absolutely beautiful machine. And that 2-pt. fast hitch is a wonder. I've used an H for a number of hours and it's just not the same.

Thanks again, Ed
