I just bought a 1955 TO-35 and the hydraulic fluid was quite low, like 3 gallons low. After running it some I could see indications of water on the dipstick so looks like I will be draining and replacing all fluid. But sitting at rest there's a steady drip under the tractor leaving a puddle which I noticed after work tonight. Under further investigation I think I am missing a cover under the tractor which is where the fluid is leaking, but I'm not sure if this area should have any fluid getting to it in the first place. I think I may have a leak elsewhere and the lack of this cover is just allowing it to leak more steadily here. From what I can tell its just an access cover? I don't have a manual yet but I am working on acquiring one I don't think TSC carries one for this model. There's a machined flat area and 4 threaded holes where it appears the cover would go. If I look up the hole I see the horizontal shaft that the brake pedals are attached to and some springs(clutch related maybe?) and maybe a smaller round access cover. I didn't investigate too far what's in there as it was getting dark and its hard to look up there without fluid dropping onto your face. Any insight would be helpful
