I noticed 2 petcocks at the top of the oil pan (stock or added?) and oil did come out when I opened the slightly higher one, so I know it's at least at that level. But if there's no dipstick, how can you tell if it needs oil or how much is actually in it???

Rad: If you love your tractor, you need to get an Operator's Manual for it. The content covers a lot of maintenance issues like the one you asked about - and many more as well.

The two pet cocks in the oil pan are at different heights. You fill the tractor with oil until it starts dripping out the upper cock. You add oil whenever it won't come out the lower cock. Of course, when you change oil, you fill it until it starts to drip out the upper cock also. Good luck. mike
