just to make it alot easier when you are just starting out.there are great manuals that will help you with pretty much everything except the small details. there are are questions only the most experienced can answer. but anyway you can buy them from the yesterdays tractor site, a highly recomended manual is the ford shop manual, by IT shop manuals. for the 9-2-or 8n the manual # is FO-4. it pretty much shows and tells all in laymans terms. doc

K S..... ....do a "full" oil change. 5qts in oilpan, +1qt in oil filter canistor and replace the filter. Also change oil in oil airbath filter cup too. I use 1/2qt engine oil to change the dirt-traping airfilter, and 5-1/2qts slowly poured down the oilfill tube on left side of engine. I let re-starting the engine pump the cleaned and changed oilfilter cansister full. And have the engine dipstick read haffway between full and add qt mark.

In 1939, Ford recommended 30wt oil and 40wt oil in the HOT summer. Modern oil is so much better, take advantage of technology. I use 20-50wt oil year-round. 20wt effect for cold start-up, and 50wt effect for hot engine protection at 30 psi oil pressure. Use whatever weight oil seems right for your operation..... .....the oily Dell

drain from soup can sized threaded cap under engine. run the engine for a few minutes to warm up the oil so it all drains

Fram C3 or equivalent filter cartridge

chage oil in air cleaner too

I run 40wt in summer and 30 wt in winter

Not to nitpick, but just to clarify:

1.) Run the engine to warm it up.

2.) THEN shut it off and drain the oil!

You know, I shouldn't have to mention shutting off the engine....but then again, at one time in our country Edgar Bergan was a very popular ventriliquist on the radio.

Think about it.

Under the engine is a "plug". It will look like a rather Large bolt head. Sometimes fellas use a "pipe wrench" to take it loose. Careful, though. As you remove the "flange" area, have a container that can hold about5 or 6 qrts. of oil.

The oil goes into the engine thru a "stand-pipe" on the left side of the engine, as viewed from the operators seat. Hope this helps ya. Good Luck.
