I just purchased a WD with a WD45 engine in it (Power Crater) - I ordered a manual but it has not yet arrived and I need to do an oil change before I leave town with it. I tried to do a search but could not find anything about it - I suppose it may be obvious to everyone but dang I don't have a clue other that the cap buy the distributor ... is that it? Also I cannot find anything about oil capacity - every place I look that has engine specs has the oil capacity field left blank??
Thanks

Yes that is the cap to add oil to the engine. I don't recall how much but put in 4 quarts and check oil level and go from there.

Also check differential , transmission and hydraulic, all 3 are different plugs located below and around the foot clutch pedal area, Just as well check final drives to0, there is a plug on the inside of each pan fill till it runs out
