Recently overhauled my B farmall and was filling the crankcase today and I noticed the oil pan has to petcocks on it like my other Farmalls and this tractor also has a dip stick. I noticed that the oil ran out of the top petcock before it showed full on the dip stick. Which one of these ways of checking for a full crank case do I use. It acted like it took about 2 more qts. before it was on the dip stick. Thanks for your help.

Likely the block was from some other kind of IHC engine which had a different kind of pan. Or it is posible that the dip stick is not the proper one. I would read the petcocks.

How many quarts did it take to come out of the top petcock?

IH Farmall etc. tractor engines all have provision for a dip-stick as well as having the test cocks on the side of the oil pan. Check that the dip-stick may not be an IH dip-stick which could account for the false markings. My 1941 W-4 also has a dipstick, in the right place, but is not an IH dipstick. The Farmall A and B dipstick location is the small angles flat just below the oil pressure gauge.

Not an expert, but I don't think the B ever had a dipstick. You may have a replacement engine. You could go to the CaseIH parts books online and checkout the part number of the block. You may have an block from a utility engine. Many of these had dipsticks and as I recall had two markings. One with engine running and one not running.

Since the dipstick is probably not original, go by the petcocks.
