MF TO35 Deluxe Bell housing drain hole

My parts manual shows a bell housing drain hole that should have a cotter key in it. I have the dual clutch model also. Where the key should be is a bolt about 6" long. When I pulled it out it scared me and I immediately put it back. No sign of a drain hole. I'm getting a lot of fluid build up and it needs to be released. What is up with this?
Thanks
Joe
 
What ever you do, a comprehensive service manual is a small but essential investment.

Thanks Bob
I could not find that kind of information in my Owners Manual or the service manual. I going to pull the bolt and stick wire up there to clean the hole.
Thanks again, I'll let you know what happens.

The case is upside down. Look for the lowest point in the 'belly' should be a 1/4 inch hole right in the middle of it. See red arrow in picture...
 
Thanks,
I must have led everyone astray. I have a 1959 Massey Ferguson TO35 Deluxe. I still cannot find the hole that should be there. There is a drain plug very
close to where you show the arrow on mine. It would seem that the weep hole would be weeping all the gearbox oil out? Please see the attached pix and mark
where the hole should be. I will drill one.
Thanks again,
Joe

Any weep hole will be in the bell housing , forward of where you are looking . Many times they are filled with mud and painted over . Sometimes even filled with a small cut off and nicely filed bolt threaded in by misguided owners .
 
Be 100 % sure of location, should you decide to drill a hole!

There is no turning back if you drill in the incorrect location..

Still cannot find the hole, and to scary to try to drill one. Attached is a pic of the casting number on the housing. Is there any way to reference my cast # to your castings. My wife said the the tractor has been running since 59 with out me drilling holes,,, so that's a final word on hole drilling.
Thanks guy's really appreciate the input,

Found it, as you said "nicely filed bolt threaded in by misguided owners". Check out the pic. Now my wife may let me drill??
Thanks All for the help. This was driving me crazy.

Drilled small hole for a easy out and sure enough some fine dude plugged the hole well
camouflaged. Now to get all the gunk out.

In defence of the ' Misguided Owner ' , the split pin is sometimes substituted with a tapped bolt when working in marshy areas where the belly of the tractor might sit in water for some time . Usually the head is left on to facilitate occasional draining but then such a thing can easily be sheered off in the general course of paddock work .
