Checking and changing the oil

[Mark Cowan]

How do I check the oil level and then add/change the oil. And change filter? 1948 d. If you have a picture or diagram ,that might help me more . Thank you'all ahead of time. The oil Gage maybe works, the glass lends on the Gage is not broken. And the Gage moves, ,,,,but closer to zero ,,,,should the Gage hold closer to the middle of the psi values as opposed to too far left (0). Or too far right?
Thanks again,Mark

On the right side of the oil pan are 2 1/2 pipe plugs. Remove the upper one and if oil comes out your crankcase is full. If it does not run out, add oil until it does.

I see I missed something in my first post; it should read 2-1/4 inch pipe plugs, not 2 1/2 plugs. I would drain the oil and flush with diesel fuel as you may have a plugged intake on the oil pump. Be sure to drain the clutch housing too as it gets oil from the back of the engine. (Both drain plugs are 1/2 inch ones.)
