jThere had been an new dipstick and tube relased for the pto on these machines. It increases the oil level about 5 quarts or so. Previous oil level barely covered the pump suction when running. New level raises the operating oil level to about the seam where the sump is bolted on. I think this was a lot of the early machines problem with control. Get a little low and you started airating.
