John: I always fill mine to top petcock and never add oil until drops below lower petcock. At that time I add a quart. If I happen to overfill, I drain it off. Any engine with crankcase overfull should never be operated that way. It is very hard on crank seals, probably the single biggest reason for crank seal failure. One other item to watch with these is dust pluging petcocks. If I at first don't get oil when I open a petcock I will pick at outlet with small wire. Turn it in and out couple of times. My Super A once got filled 3 quarts overfull by a guy that borrowed it. I was away and he told my wife the tractor was awfully hard on oil, he had to add 3 quarts. I went out to tractor and drained 2.5 quarts off the top petcock.
