Larry Ed said: (quoted from post at 15:28:13 03/25/08) I just did a service on my 1944 Farmall A's tranny. I dropped the rear axle housing pans and got new gaskets and reinstalled. I found parts of bugs in the bottom of the pans and thought that was odd. There was no oil in the pans either. When I refilled the pans, through the big fill plug hole, oil started coming out of a hole I did not know was there. It is threaded and I assume it is a level check plug. The fill plug hole is forward of the axle and this smaller hole is rearward of the axle. There was no plug in either side (just the fill hole plug), which explains the bugs. I assumed the previous owner did not refill when he serviced. I tried a 1/4" NPT plug, but it is not the right size. Can someone tell me what size plugs goes back in there?
Larry,
The final drives have their own fill plugs and only one in each.
Look under your tractor on the inside of the final drives in the location where your drawbar and other implements have attaching points and you will see a plug in between the forward most threaded hole and the next after it. Remove the plug and fill till it runs out. Only other thing I have seen is where someone over torqued one of the implement bolts to where the casting in the rear of the threaded hole broke out and essentially made another fill hole. I dont think there are any 1/4" holes anywhere back there.
