DC Gear Oil

[Jon Vidulich]

Might seem like a silly question, but where is the gear oil filler cap and level check plug on the DC's? Also what type of oil is recommended.

Also still looking for a top link, pto cover, top link mount, and possibly an adjustable wide front end.

Really need to get the shop manual, but all help is much appreciated.

John Saeli has repro top links for SC/DC. The PTO cover IS the lower top link mount. The upper mount is attached on top of the differential hsg. and is just a cast piece that bolts on with two bolts and has a crosswise horizontal hole.

The SC/DC top link is different from the VAC style in which bothe mount ends looked the same. hHe outer end is made like the VAC link but the tractor mount end is a yolk arrangement. Take a look at John's Web site and you will get a better idea than my rambling explanation. You may still have the upper mount point while the PTO cover/mount has been lost or broken.

The level plug is on the right side of the rear end about half way up... 1/4" NPT plug

Thanks for the descriptions. I've actually seen both now, I just can't seem to find any for sale. Unfortunately John is out of the Top Links and upper mount. I'll be brush hogging with it so I do need the upper. I'm at the point now of doing one of two things, selling the tractor or fabricating something. I like the DC a lot, I'm just thinking if I can't even find such simple little parts, heaven forbid something major goes.

Some SC/DC Case top link pieces just showed up on ebay under Business and Industrial, Agriculture and Forestry, Antique Tractor and search on Case/new listings.

This will give you what you need for now and you will find the rest of the proper top link pieces later but the original top mount and yolk is there. The top link itself is a homeade concocktion but would work for mowing and will probaly not bring much due to the homemade nature.
