Thanks for clearing that up for me, folks. I wondered if those two petcocks might be factory installed since they looked much "cleaner" than any of the rigged "get by" additions that are on the little beast (not many, thankfully). I wondered what they could be for, and though I thought it only natural to see if there was at least enough oil to come out of them, it never occured to me that they might be the actual factory installed oil level indicators!
And as for the Owner's Manual, yes I'm getting one of those (off eBay, probably) and a parts book AND a tech manual for it also. I bought the tractor with the intent of working on it, and it doesn't make much sense to try to "wing it" with 70 year old technology (like those totally "alien" but very clever petcocks) when there is perfectly good info so readily available (and with pictures, too!)

Now, if only that radiator cap will come in tomorrow morning, too...

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!!
