My understanding is that you use a homemade dip stick to check the oil level. I plan on draining the oil after checking the level and then refill with fresh oil. Looks like I should use 85W/140 oil.
I was able to find the manual online, and it looks like I'm missing the rod for the rear flap:
Got the part numbers:
Now I just need to source the parts, or get the JD 681 tiller equivalents.
I'm sure it will work just fine without that rod, it will just leave a real "fluffy" finish, since there will be no down pressure applied.
I think I would blow off the rear gate parts, mine has a chain to adjust the gate but I seem to always leave it in the closed position.
