Reply To: Discovery in oil pan

[David Stevens]

A follow up to Bill’s Morgan story:

If you get lost on an antique car tour, just reverse course until you see the trail of oil spots on the pavement. If a Brass tour, follow the stream of oil stains.

I have an old Oliver Tractor. I bought it for peanuts because it leaked transmission fluid. Reading the owners manual I found this instruction:

Drain the splash pan under the transmission periodically to avoid any overflow of excess fluid leaking under operation. I did so and stopped filling trans all the way to the top of the generous full range.

Problem solved.
