I preferred to call it creative bull$hitting...

That's pretty awesome!

Actually looks pretty clean. Most times those PTO guards are long MIA.

Yep.

Not exactly a basket case… I’ve hauled worse home before (just not wheelhorse). Just put back together what my father in law started, and with subsequent trips to his shed looking for missing pieces.., think I found most of them.,

So does he take the whole tractor there or just rip out the wiring harness and take that? Another option... https://a.co/d/5EbkNl3

1966 856 transmission lower fill hole size question
SylvanLakeWH replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
I just filled one with 1/2 quart extra by tipping tractor up on left side, fill, put in plug and lower it... easy peasy... that trick brought to you by @Pullstart... -
1966 856 transmission lower fill hole size question
FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Makes sense. I Would much rather fill the transmission thru that hole than having to remove the shifter. -

Achto replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
You would gain oil capacity that might be of benefit. Not sure it is necessary though. -

FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
So would the extension be of any real benefit to my 3 speed filling? -

Trying to get the 414-8 running after the carb rebuild. DOGGONE WALBRO CARB! When I disassembled it, I saw no clip on the float needle. I figured I MUST have lost it. Upon reassembly, it's not flowing properly. As you can see by the photo with the old needle, it appeared to be the setup with the spring. That needle & spring allowed ZERO flow with the float down. Blowing into the gas intake was a complete block. Using the other needle and the typical needle "hanger" results in very restricted flow with the float down. do I completely remove the clip and let it "float" freely, the way it appeared to be? I have never seen that before.Yes, I know I can adjust the float, but A) that shouldn't be necessary, and I don't have the specs. As much as I hate to mess with the float height since it worked before, I guess I'll play with it. I found this online: -

Not the best Pic. I had to take it before they moved. Bella and Faith guarding the 875 -

I was using it with no air yesterday. It kept fogging up. I'm not sure how else to feed it, definitely NOT via the air compressor! -
1966 856 transmission lower fill hole size question
Achto replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
True. Usually only the 6 & 8 speed trannys had the extension. On the 3 speed tranny the pipe plug went directly into the tranny with out the extensions, like in the pic below. -

1966 856 transmission lower fill hole size question
FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Poor wording on my part. Thank you. The orignal poster stated that if you fill the transmission full till it reaches the end of that extension hole.. then that is full enough oil for a well oiled transmission. If I did fill the transmission this way with the extension, would I need to tip the tractor anyway to fully fill the transmission? -

1966 856 transmission lower fill hole size question
Achto replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Not a bolt at all. It's 3 pieces. 1 - 1" long 3/8" pipe nipple 1 - 3/8" pipe coupling. 1 - 3/8" pipe plug All pieces should be readily available at any hardware store. I believe pipe plug takes a 9/16" wrench. -
That’s probably true. It’s probably more than 1

1966 856 transmission lower fill hole size question
FLtractor posted a topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Afternoon, wondering what size bolt this is for the lower transmission fill hole.. and what size extension would I need to fit this as pictured here? (What size wrench too) Orginal post stated that extension is factory but have yet to hear back from poster as thread is at least a decade old. Is there a name for such. -
