I bought a 1955 Super 55 this past winter. Everything was running great. I have never owned a tractor before, wanted something small for helping me do a few things around here. Took someone far brighter than me along to check it out before purchasing. I snapped a cable on it while plowing this winter and after it sat for a few days during a big thaw, I noticed a VERY large puddle of white-ish fluid dripping from under it. I ordered the Service Tools manual, I&T manual, parts manual and have the original owners manual. It appears the inspection plate is missing and this is where most of the fluid is draining from. The dipstick up by the engine pulls up very black (but full), the dipstick up by the seat opens up to a cavern of white milky fluid. I have not run it since I founds these things, but you can bet I fixed that cable! Ugh. I do not even know where to start. I barely know the front end from the back end. The oil looked good when we bought it, the friend checked. HELP. This is a gas tractor and has been converted to a 12volt system. Last owner was a tractor enthusiast, so I doubt he sold me a lemon. He was very forthcoming about upcoming maintenance issues and known problems (minor).
