I got a chance to go take a look at the W6 I just bought. One thing that caught my eye was the empty dipstick slide on the right hand side of the engine. My first thought was, how much water & crud have built up in the oil pan by now?My next thought was - hey, wait a minute! Since when did the letter series have dipsticks? I s'pose they did leave a spot in the casting where someone could drill a hole & put one in, but, there are no petcocks on the oil pan. If a dealership were to have done the modification, after the number series came out, wouldn't the dipstick be of plug & thumb screw style vs. a regular bayonet dipstick?
The other thing I was wondering about was the rear-end casting with the "new pattern" plate on it. There is no, as of this time, date plate anywhere I looked on the rear end of the tractor. As a matter of fact, I didn't see one on any major casting. But, I don't have the tractor home & cleaned off yet, either. To be continued.......when I bring her home. Thanks - Mike

Once started it putted along pretty good. It
