I have a BS and MA and I was not required to take "differential equations." Just a light duty 101 type intro to calculus. That because it was not my focus of study. That in the US. No foreign language either since I already knew some French (thanks to my parents).
My wife has a BS and MS from Onatario, Canada and also was not required to study differential equations.
Different colleges for different degrees have different entrance requirements. I went late at 50 years old and met many college kids in the 2nd year who were functionally illiterate. They came from public schools. When I was getting my grad degree I met a few working school teachers who were forced to get their grad degrees. They also were near illterate.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
