d. Checking Crankcase Oil Level and Adding

Oil. Before daily startup, check the crankcase oil

level and add oil if required as follows:

(1) Pullout the oil level indicator (fig. 3-l) and

wipe with a clean cloth.

(2) Reinsert oil level indicator firmly.

(3) Pull out oil level indicator, and read oil

level.

Note. The FULL mark on the oil level indicator shows

the proper level after the engine has been standing idle for a

few hours. For an engine that has been running recently, the

level will normally be slightly lower. This is due to oil filling the

oil passages and filter. This oil will drain back into the crank-

case as the engine stands idle. If the oil level is at or below the

ADD OIL mark as checked above, add one quart of oil.

4) Reinsert the oil level indicator firmly.

(5) If oil is required, remove the breather cap

from the crankcase fill tube, and pour one quart of

oil into the crankcase fill tube. Replace breather

cap.

Caution: Be sure the oil you add is the

same grade and weight as that already in the

crankcase. If in doubt, check with

organizational maintenance personnel.

Caution: Do not operate the tractor if the

oil level as checked after a few hours of stand-

ing idle is below the ADD OIL mark.
