[AT] Allis Chalmers oil level check Thanks!

Tue Jul 8 21:15:44 PDT 2008

Thanks Gilbert, Rob and Charlie I think you are all correct.  I got lead down the wrong path by the manual stating to fill the transmission, differential & transmission clutch to the level plugs.  There is no dip stick or level plugs so I will fill it to the threads on the filler plugs.

  Thanks for the help!!!!!!!

  Heck I didn't answer because I'm not that familiar with WD 45's. I agree 
with Rob though that most AC stuff has a dip stick on the plug. Sometimes 
they get broken off. I was a little surprised that anyone else had even 
read the question considering the amount of traffic on the list lately.
