You have a great tractor. Hope you enjoy owing it, hang around here to learn more about ACs. As for your tractor. Adding hydraulic oil to the wheels??? Do you mean the tires, to make them heavier? Fluid is often added to tires to increase the weight and traction of the tractor, but hot oil, it will eat the rubber and cause a leak. If you were refering to adding oil to the fianl drives well that is another matter. The final drives are the final gear reduction at the end of each axle. To change it you remove the pan at the bottom, clean it, and re install it. Fill to the bottom of the plug with gear oil, 80-90 or 140 weight, whatever. This is a good thing to do, many times this oil is acient and really nasty. Same goes for the transmission, drain it with plugs on the bottom of the transmission and rear end, fill with the same 80-90 gear oil, unless your tractor has hydraulics, then fill with "tractor lube" or straight weight 20 or 30 weight oil. Grease the fittings on lthe front end too and change the engine oil and filter. As for the filter, make sure you get one with a perforated matal plate visible at the bottom and rag waste looking stuff inside with a wood pencil like peg sticking out the bottom. There are other filters around that will fit and are sold as replacements, but if they are not as described you will lose several LBS of oil pressure, search this site and read more. Make sure you keep a good boot on on the shift lever, especially of the tractor spends any time out in the weather, or water will find it's way down and into your transmission. Get and read reprints of owners manual and repair manual too, will help you to understand your new tractor. Again, good luck with it and hang out here and ask questions.

The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. 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
