Orion, Your oil level should be such that it drips out of the bottom drain cock. Optimum level is somewhere between the bottom cock and the top cock. If oil runs out of the top cock, let it drain until it stops. Those old tractors are rather fussy about having too much oil in them. When they ran on kerosene or distilate, a certain amount of unburned fuel would seep into the oil pan. Since the kerosene or distialate would settle to the top, it was standard operating proceedure to first open the top drain cock in the morning and drain any kerosene or distilate fuel from the crankcase. That is the reason IH installed the 2 drain cock system rather than a dip stick. If your oil level is less than the bottom cock, then you add oil until it drips out of that cock, not necessarily the top.
