For the engine oil, on level ground, fill it up until it drips out of the top level plug. The bottom one was for draining off the top layer of contaminated oil when using tractor fuel. It is a real good idea to drop the oil pan and clean out the slugde build up in there, I had about an inch of it in my 41'. While it's open clean the oil pump pickup screen. And coming out of the bottom of the oil filter housing is a cleanout plug. you want to pull that, mine looked like it had never been pulled. had to use a coat hanger to pick it out!

And on the transmission there are 2 drain plugs. One under the PTO pointing back, and one about 2 feet forward facing forward. Now what I do is to drain it down, put the pluggs back in and put in about 10 Gal of kerosene or diesel. Jack up one wheel and in nutral spin a tire, this cleans her out real good. The rear plug has a depression under it, get your finger in there and pull that crud out too.

Man I feel like workin on my tractor now! My M needs a radiator replacement. I think I'll just pull the bolster, it's probably easier.

Have fun with it, get greasy!
