I have a International 454D (with Lightning Shift, whew). When I check the hydraulic oil level via a dip stick next to the left heel of the operator, I get two readings. My first reading, taken in the morning after the tractor has sat overnight, shows no hydraulic oil, not a drop on the stick. So, being concerned, I put it back in the same exact hole, don't start the engine, just put it back, easily, and when I pull it out, it now shows the level right where it is supposed to be, about and 1.5" up the stick. I'm not making this up, I think I have a magic tractor. How does it do this? Any ideas, Bird, Del, Harv, Chalkley, Rowski, Paccorti, heck JimBin in Michigan (aka Mighty TC18), anybody, Rat...
