How Do You Check The Oil In A Farmall H Tractor?
The Farmall H tractor was made by International Harvester from 1939 to 1953 as an all-purpose tractor able to cultivate up to 35 acres of row crops per day. Quite a few of these models are still on the job, and they’re popular with collectors, so parts are still readily available. However, many routine maintenance procedures on these old tractors differ from the processes for modern machinery, such as checking the engine crankcase oil. Park the tractor on a level surface and allow the engine to cool if it has been run recently to allow the oil to drain back into the pan. Locate the two oil petcocks on the right side of the oil pan, located at the bottom of the engine block. Remove the uppermost petcock by twisting it counter-clockwise by hand, or use pliers if needed. Set the petcock aside. Stick your finger in the hole where the petcock was removed. Make sure the oil level is up to the bottom of the petcock hole. Replace the petcock if the oil level is up to the bottom of the hole. Ti
