Thanks, folks. I'm definitely ahead of my position yesterday.

Keeping the Super A in is out for the time being. After finishing the house, we're out of energy and $$$ for a tractor shed. Maybe I'll use an antique galvanized bathtub for cover.

Your facts are validated including the threaded holes to nowhere. I found the main drain plug (a 1 1/4 inch inside square drive plug - same as the two on top of the gearbox) and the belt pulley/PTO really small square-head drain plug plus the level plug (larger than the belt pulley/PTO drain plug).

The huge surprise for this old-guy novice-at-maintaining-a-vintage-tractor was how low the level plug is. This means I am my own worst enemy since I "topped off" this gearbox several months ago -- assuming a "gob of gear oil is worth a pound of cure".

I'll start the drain/refill to level plug operation in a few days so I can put the old tractor back to work mowing the weeds in the back lot. {Still, I must have new fluid (water) entering the mix since the milkshake didn't start overflowing when I topped it off - but waited several months - and now overflows every time I use it which means it can't get rid of enough to stop spouting.}

Thanks again,

Dan
