Hello all. I just acquired a 1953 Farmall Super C w/2 pt. fast hitch, standard pto and side pulley. It leaks a lot; all minor but widely. For levels, the water is oi; the current oil level is ok. The axle case level is ok (small plug on the rear). The hydraulic fluid level is ok, (left side plug, high) but I don't know about the trans. case. Is that seperate from the axle housing and does it use a different fluid and have a different check point? Where are the axle and trans. filled? On the deck plate by the base of the shift lever is what appears to be a fill plug. Is this for the trans or the trans and the axle? If this is a fill plug it's going to be difficult to remove as its quite worn. Any suggestions or alternatives to this plug? What is the recommendation for the various fluids, oil, trans, axle? What engine oil is best as to weight? Is a synthetic blend oil advisable? What's the recommended mixture for the radiator? This tractor has previously been very much worked but has also probably sat for considerable periods. Are there any recommended additives that would really help in regard to prolonging the current various seals? I got this tractor to put it right to work this weekend and hope to use it for at least 100 hours before needing a major tear down. I won't have time to send away for the big manual so any help with these questions would be appreciated. Thanks, Ed

Firm-joint calipers are adjusted approximately by the hands and then set to the feel of the work by tapping them on a metal surface. It is a common practice when opening calipers by this means to tap the top of the joint. It is better, if possible, to tap the inside of the legs, as repeated blo
