2. A few drops of engine oil should be placed on the
numerous pivot points and moving parts of the trac¬
tor and mower. Keep oil off belts and pulleys to pre¬
vent belt damage. Place oil at all points where metal
parts rub together, such as rods and rod guides, levers,
etc.
CHECK FLUID LEVELS & TIRE PRESSURES
1. Check the bevel gear box fluid level. Remove the fill
plug (A, Figure 7) and wipe oil off attached pin.
Insert the fill plug loosely in hole (do not screw in).
In this position the fluid should just touch the bot¬
tom of the pin. If not, add Allis-Chalmers Power
Fluid 821. Do not overfill. A drain plug (C) is
located on rear cover.
