Odd Oil Pan, TO-30

Okay, Let's give this a try..... This picture is of the oil pan I wrote about in my post below (Other lives of a Z129?). If anybody has an idea about what piece of equipment this was used on originally I'd like to hear it.

Thank you both very much for your photos that prove without at doubt where my pan came from. The way the pan on a Z134 is bolted to the tractor at the front and rear makes it an actual structural component of the tractor. That added strength has got to be good for the block, and may go a long way toward explaining why I don’t seem to see as many posts about cracked Z134 blocks.

Thanks again, gentlemen!

Well, I’d say the mystery is pretty much solved. But does the casting number on the bottom of your oil pan(s) read “Z129B”? It doesn’t break my heart to have a Z134 oil pan, as long as it fits. If it doesn’t, I'll have the first part for my next tractor!

Thanks, everyone,

Bill

It is a pan for a Z134. The front holes you were curious about are for two long bolts which go through the front axle extension, whatever the official name of that is. You can just see where that happens in the photo above.
