My "A" is a 1951 and serial #680654.

There is an oil fill plug about 4" from the clutch arm pivot toward the front of the tractor. There is a drain plug about 18" below this plug on the side that is used to drain this reservoir. My question is how much oil should be put in this reservoir? My manuals do not mention the amount or kind of oil.

There is a picture of this plug on page 27 of my JD-4 I&T shop manual. The plug is to the left of the hand.

Also, is there more that one drain plug to drain all of the oil from the engine crankcase?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

David A.

the plugs you are refering to are the first reduction gear.I always drain the reduction gear and put a pint of 80/90 or 90/140

Maybe on your 520, but on late A letter series tractors 1 pint of motor oil is to be put in the reduction cover. Proving again there is no subsitute for having the correct operators manual. After all its a JOHN DEERE there all the same----- -WRONG!!

Fill the crankcase until oil starts to run out of the oil level test cock. The other drain plugs are for the trnsmission and differential/rear axle. I use the best engine oil I can buy, API Service SL, with a 10W-30, or 10W-40 viscosity.

Thanks for your comments. I am aware on how to fill and drain the crankcase. The question I have presented pertains to another oil fill location much nearer to the pivot of the clutch handle. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, David A

Is it possible you are seeing the male pipe plug that is on the side of the main case that the oil pump pressure is adjusted through? You take out the plug and can then reach in with a tool to adjust oil pressure. That isn't where you add oil. The oil add is on top of the first reduction gear casting at the front end over the clutch area.
