In Reply to: Checking Oil on M posted by duckrock on August 14, 2013 at 16:02:56:
The engine oil is checked with petcocks. These are small valves that are located in the oil pan. These valves are opened (sometimes with a wrench) very gently to see if oil is at the level of the valve. The top valve is full, the bottom valve is used for the one quart low level. That lower valve is also used to allow the draining of contaminated engine oil once a day when a farmer used tractor fuel (distillate). The distillate would dilute the oil such that putting one fresh quart in the tractor was necessary every day. Not used now with only gasoline being used. If oil drips out the top valve all is well. if not add oil at the big winged cover at the front of the engine on the distributor side. The belly pump is filled to the mark on the dipstick located under the bakers hat cap under the right side gas tank. If the dipstick is missing (many are) it is either dropped into the pump (no issue) or lost to the outside by accident. If none the level is good at 7 to 8 inches down from the top of the fill pipe.
