I assume some of you know this, I've just never had a reason to investigate. On top of rearend housing two 5/8" threaded bosses used in the past for hand lift levers as well a Super A levers for split rockshaft for two way plow. My tractors have all had cork in those holes since new. Last week I chose to use those two holes to mount a shade umbrella on my 140. The cork was in bad shape, could definitely leak. I didn't take time to check this on 140, just used 5/8"x1-1/2" bolts with lots of gasket black around plate for umbrella.
My question, are those holes open to the rear end on bottom, or do they have a cast in place bottom? If they are leaking water into rearend, I'm thinking I should dig the cork out on SA and 130, replace it with a 5/8"x1" bolt with ample supply of gasket black.
I know some of the drawbar mount holes on final drives have cast in place bottoms, and if one uses too long bolt he can break out that thin cast bottom.
