I just purchased a JD 60 and would like to know where to check the oil and where to drain it. This is my first horizontal engine and do not know much about them -never mind looking 4 a dipstick- thanks

Your "60" does have a dipstick, as does the late "A" that preceeded it. Look below and in front of the clutch pulley on the RH side of the main case. It's kind of short and stubby with a knurled knob, but it's there. The drain plug will be located on the bottom side of the main case, probably with a 1/2" or so square head - it's a simple pipe plug.

G-Man:

According to my parts CD and my fading memory, the first "A" type tractor that had a factory distick was the 70 Diesel. There were after market types that were available from TSC (see photo) and such, but I thought the late "A", '60', '70' non-Diesel used the old time old check cock forwar dand velow the pulley. Open it up and add oil until it runs out the test cock, and it is filled to full.

My "60" has a dipstick, as does the late "A" I recently worked on here at the shop. I had to show the customer where the dipstick was, and don't recall seeing where the level cocks had been removed and the holes plugged, but I wasn't looking that hard, either.

The after market dipsticks like the one shown in my picture were inserted in the hole left after the test cock had been removed. The the fitting introduced the dipstick at less than a 90* angle to the oil, so you could read the oil level on the slope. So, if those dipsticks were the TSC types, you won't see any eveidence of the test cocks since the dipstick units use the same holes. The owners manuals still show the factory test cocks.

Frank, is that trick photography when I can't see that 70's oil pressure regulator adjustment nut? The 60 will likely have two oil test ports drilled and taped, a high and a low. It's possible that one has a plug installed and the other has the test "do-dad". Don't turn the oil pressure adjustment down to zero while trying to check the oil level.

Glen:

Well, that's a pretty early '70'gas, so maybe that's an issue. I see the plug in the parts book, and it doesn't have a serial number break. Beyond that, can't say.

When it's you and a model 70 I assumed it was the 70D instead of a gasser. Was I supposed to send you the serial numbers of our 70's or was it Albert and the 80's serial number? We were going to check and see if they are close? The "new" 70LP should show up in the next week or two with the 840's.

Naw, I didn't need an aftermarket dipstick. Those Diesels came with 'em from the factory!

Wasn't me so it must have been Albert.

I must be getting "CRS"? Couldn't even remember that the 70D has a dip stick. Have never seen the aftermarket dipstick for gassers in real life. Just got a call from the trucking company. Three of four items are going well but the one tractor has hit a snag. No assistance offered/available to load the non running machine. Money order got left at trucking company office instead of going with truck as well.
