I forgot that I modified mine 20 years ago. I took off the old plunger-fuel pump that is bolted to the side of the injection pump. I made a steel plate with a drain valve and a filler hole with a pipe plug. Note to the upper left is a unmachined boss for a dipstick. Those pumps on some tractors had dipsticks to check the oil level but wasn't used on the B275s for some reason. To drain - when you still have the original plunger-pump -you just unbolt that pump. I assume seeing how hard CAV made it to fill that pump box - they figure letting it run with just diesel fuel as lube will be OK. Can't overfill since you've got that excess tube. On Ford tractors with Simms in-line pumps - I've seen several run out of oil in that box and seize. By the way. I took my plunger pump off when I first got the tractor in an attempt to make it start better. I added an electric pump that made no difference. What really makes these tractors start better - is to add the new 12 volt Mercedes-type glow plugs. Makes a HUGE difference. I've had two B-275s with the in-line pumps and also two newer ones with the rotary CAV pumps. The later models always have started better. The different pumps seem to make a difference.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
