[Farmall] Re: Belt pulley gear lube

[Jim Becker]

The pulley and PTO assembly normally is oiled from the tranmission.  You can 
dump a little transmision oil in that plug if you want to get some oil in 
there initially, it won't hurt any thing.  But within a very short time, it 
will get all the oil it needs anyway.  The main reason for the plug is so 
you can see the gear mesh when you put the pulley attachment on.  You did 
check the gears and shim the pulley housing accordingly didn't you?
