1940 JD B - oil to rocker arms

doehmke · Jan 15, 2010

How do the rocker arms get lubricated on a 1940 B? There's no oil line from the oil pump through the head, like on later Bs. Does oil drop along and off the push rods? Anything else? I'm sure I've put everything together correctly, but am curious how this works.

Thanks,

Dan

The oil comes from the line on the governor housing to the valve cover. Inside the cover is a trough that drips on the rocker arms. Ron Mn.

Checked it out today and it looks pretty straight forward. Thanks, Dan
