Crankcase capacity

[Tubacase47]

As I told you a few days ago, 10 of my tractors were under water. I need to drain the crankcases of the C and D series and refill them with fresh oil but I have misplaced my owners' manuals so I don't know capacities (should be the same for both.)

7 quarts on the C and 8 quarts on the DC with filter.

My DC manual shows 8 quarts with filter and 7 quarts without

Are the engines free and will they turn over? If not, I am wondering if you might be better off overfilling them with kerosene initially. Much less viscous than lubricating oil and will penetrate the cracks and crevices to displace water in those places that oil will not get to, especially in a cold engine. Just a thought, and I welcome people telling me why this might be a bad idea. Also don't forget the transmission. Good luck bringing them back to life.

I had a farmer tell me about a Farmall F-20 that got caught in a flood in 1953. It was washed downstream about a half a mile. He told me that they cleaned everything the best they could, but still had to overhaul the engine every year after that. Do you think there was any chance of river silt getting into your tractors?
