Obviously, a Cub is not a letter series, right? I have a dip stick on my Cub

farmallman: You have made a very good point. I think most people would consider the pre 54 Cubs letter series tractors. However the Cub was rather unique in the IH line up. Rather than big cubic inch and low rpm, it obtained it's hp from rpm's, with relatively small cubic inch. All the rest were exact opposite. You are very right they did have a dip stick. My apologies to Cub owners, someone just blew a hole in my dip stick on the seat theory.

I owned a Cub. It was a good running Cub. As Cubs go, it had no power to speak of at any RPM.
I sold it for twice what I bought it. Best thing about a Cub? They bring a good price if in good shape.

kraig: You see the answer was easy, there are no dipsticks around letter series Farmalls. On the seat or in the block. It was a reasonable question.

Hey, I know this one! WOW.

The oil level is checked on the A & B in the same manner. Looking from the front of the tractor, look on your right hand side of the engine. (This is the actual left hand side.) Down near the oil pan, there are two drain cocks. My operator's manual (From Binder's Books -- get one) states this: When running on gasoline: Add sufficient new oil to bring oil up to level of upper test cock. If you are running on Distillate (Kerosene) then you drain to the first (lower) test cock, then add new oil to the 2nd (upper) test cock and then redrain to the first test cock before running.

By the way, this is in the section listed as DAILY OR AFTER EVERY 10 HOURS OF OPERATION.

Good thing I decided to bring my "A" off the field to change the oil today, huh? Wouldn't you know it, I also managed to save damaging a flat tire I got that I didn't notice until I brought her in.

BTW The Mississippi Steamboat world used a series of 3 vertical cocks on their steam boilers for same idea - to maintain correct fluid level. Depending on whether you got water, steam or nothing at all - you added feed water, drained off excess feed water or headed for the hills, before the boiler exploded. You started from bottom cock up as the steam and hot water would squirt on the cock below making it hot and slippery. So-o-o as we are always learning - hopefully without the explosions ! - IH staggered the upper cock so's the lower one doesn't get all messy on you when you are trying to see if the poor old thing has any lube oil in it. IH was right, judging from my own hard-learned experiences, one Dip-Stick on a tractor is enough !

If someone reads your post and actually tries to run on kerosene (it is still possible if he has an original tractor), the procedure is to drain to the lower cock, fill to upper, and run it that way, you don't drain to the lower and run it, you will be quart low. Distillate is not the same as kerosene. I don't believe you can buy distillate any more, you can still buy kerosene.

There isn't one. There is a petcock on the oil pan to check the oil level. Open it, if oil runs out it is fine. If not add oil until oil runs out.
