Hi all.
I am new to tractors and recently obtained a '69 Ford 4000 (3cyl Diesel).
Not to long into using it the snap ring retaining the PTO shaft failed while shredding and all the fluid from the rear axle leaked.
Snap rings, PTO seal and gasket were all replaced.
I'm trying to top off the fluids again. I understand that model to take somewhere around 8 gallons. However, I'm having trouble finding where to ardor how to measure in the future.
There is a bolt that sits aft of the seat on the R hand side, but it appears fairly small to be trying to add anything through.
Any advice is appreciated. I'm also open to any advice on preventive/general maintenance that should be performed for a tractor this age.
I have a shop manual for this tractor and have an owner's manual on order.
Thanks!
