I just changed the oil and filter and installed 9 quarts of oil.Does this seem correct? The oil is not running out the level cock but I think it will once the tractor is up to operating temperature. I did run it enough to circulate through the filter.
Thanks

I think the 36 A still has the oil pump on the side of the crankcase and not on the bottom like the later models. If this is the case, it can sometimes lose its prime if the oil level is low and you can guess the rest.

Bud, that level of oil should have came out the cock if you had enough oil. The oil level should be that high even if it is a cold engine. The new filter should have taken some oil off that so you are probably a little less than you started. 9 quarts doesn't sound like it is far out of whack but I don't have an A that old so don't know. I think mine take about 10 quarts usually. Might make sure your level check plug is not full of something it shouldn't be.

I put another 1/2 quart in and it now drips. I wonder at what point you would actually starve the engine of oil? My guess is that one would have to get down to 5 or 6 quarts before you would risk damage.They probably built the sump big enough so even if the farmer was negligent in checking his oil it was very unlikely if he started out full he would ever get in trouble.
