I got a 300 utilty with the same thing just about an hour ago.
There wasnt a gasket on it, didnt appear to leak, but the oil is old as dirt, not too sludged up tho.
My first issue was detergent or non? I contacted the former owner and he said he always ran detergent, so thats what im putting in it. Well since the mating surfaces on the can and the block arent so smooth anymore from being dug, rusted, not using a gasket and so on, i cleaned them up the best i could and decided to use the gasket which will hopefully conform to the rough mating surces. if it does leak im sure it will be very minor and ill just live with it.
now, where do i put the oil in? theres no cap on the valve cover. there is one by the hydraulic pump, but i thought maybe that was for hydraulic fluid? It almost looks as if it goes down to the block, and I was always told the fill cap on almost all hydraulic systems is on or near the resevoir which is under the seat. Anyone help me out here?
