Good morning, new to the group. I am wondering if anyone else has one of these models, 1970 John Deere 500 A, backhoe/front loader. I've had mine for about 10 years now and it runs great, aside from having to pull the fuel tank to fix all the BB size holes in it. I cannot find an oil filter on it anywhere, it has 2 fuel filters but no oil filter, anyone know of one on this model? And I'm looking for a manual to see what all the "Idiot" lights are on the dash, or if someone has a picture of them and what they are?
I've used mine to help my wife and I build a house in the mountains of South Carolina, dug the basement, lifted block, shingles, you name it. We couldn't have built the house without it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Ted.
 
4 nuts hold a cover about where your left hand step its. It’s a pain in the buns with that heavy bottom guard in the way my 500B has. Search 3010 3020 if you can’t find yours the pictures will make sense.

I think mine just has the bigger hoe on it other than that it would be the same their letter system didn’t make any sense at this point.
