Teddy: Yes, I should have, however I was in a hurry, trying to beat the weather. I know the holes are at least 2" deep, as I used a match stick to check and see if it would take the 1-1/2" bolts I had on hand. Not that it would take 1-1/2" bolts to hold the umbrella.
My thoughts are if those holes are 2" deep, then there is no bottom and the hole is indeed open to the rearend gears. If that be the case, my 130 is 5 years older than 140 and Super A is 10 years older than 140. Those corks look good, but so did the 140, and as I dug it out, it was quite apparent water could leak by the cork.
I changed the transmission-rear end oil about 3 years ago in 130 and 140, SA just last winter. They don't sit outside in rain much. They do get worked 10 hour days quite regularly, yet I'm seeing water contamination in oil. Quite unusual in working tractors. I have my shift levers somewhat water proof, however if I know the tractor will be out in rain, I put a bucket over the shift lever.
Last month my 140 sat out in rain with bucket over shift lever. I know the oil level was right day before. Next morning I drained off about 1 quart. When I'm working my tractors transmission, final drives, hydraulics, crankcase and radiator all get checked daily, thus I know what is going on. This did not happen few years back if a bucket was over shift lever.
