Just a quick question for double checking.

I see that it calls for 4.5 pints of 90w oil, which, I've put in.

Does this amount come up to the fill hole, or not?

Thanks. Jim

It should come up to the fill hole just above the drawbar on the R.H. side.

Thanks. I kinda wondered about that.

Looks like I'll be adding some more as it didn't come out of the fill hole.

The only way that I've found, so far, to get oil in there is a 1/4" flexible tube that I hold on the end of a qt. bottle with the pointed cone top, and squeeze.

There's only about 2-3 " of space in front of that fill hole.

I put a small street elbow into the hole and fill through it.
