ok, I checked dip stick by the pto engagement lever, that oil level is perfect and that oil is a darker color.
now I'm stumped if that is the hydraulic reservoir.
im going to see if rural king or tractor supply has any type of manual to cover this older 4 cylinder ford. because its my first ford with a gear driven hydraulic pump bolted to side of engine.
if it were engine coolant filling the oil pan it would be like whipped cream on the dipstick.
the oil over filling oil pan is clear and smells like hydraulic fluid
while I;m searching for manual locally ill get a bucket of UTF because I'm not sure if the 303 tractor fluid I have is good for this machine. I've got to check all the levels and I'm guessing the pipe plugs on the side of housings are the overfill ports.
also will get new oil filter for engine and drain pan and refill with rotella 15-40
I'm assuming this ford diesel is good with 15-40 like all other diesels ive had

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
