The fuel supply has a shutoff under the tank and needs to be opened when the tractor is to be operated, and shut when the tractor is stopped (right away, not after a while) There is also a screen in the fuel line at the carb inlet fitting. The highest petcock in the pan is the full mark. When oil drips out of it it is full. 15-40 diesel oil is great, so is 10-30 car oil. The lower petcock is when it is a quart low, but usually not used (it was used every day when distillate "tractor fuel" was used as the oil needed to be drained down to the lower level then a quart added to replenish diluted oil from the cheap fuel.) The oil is put into the engine just in front of the distributor where you will find a winged lid about 3inches across. (use a small adjustable wrench to loosen and don't over tighten. The hydraulic oil is checked on the right side about 8 inches or so rearward of the engine. The hydraulic oil filler is a knob that looks like a chef's hat. Under the hat (should be) a dip stick with a washer as the handle. Many are missing. Fill it between 9 and 8 inches from the top of the pipe threads. The use of Hytran, or hydraulic oil used in other tractors is OK. Originally the tractor called for 30 wt non detergent motor oil in summer, and 20 in the winter. Those are also fine to use. If using machines with other tractors interchangeably, go with what they use. From completely empty to full is 6 quarts. Jim

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. 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!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
