What is this?

[kuschneider]

1963 Ford 4000 Gas Row Crop S-O-S
What is this plug? Under right heel under floor board.

Tranny has a level check plug further forward in front of my right foot.
Hyds have a dipstick
Differential has a level check plug on rear left side of differential house(At least thats what I think it is)

So what is this little gemster?

Thanks

Kurt

Looks to me like a fluid level check to me.

Yep a fill to plug. Fill with oil till it flows from that hole like many trannys and transfer cases in trucks and such.

Hard to tell which way the picture goes but I'd agree on the fluid check plug if I have my head turned correctly.

Well, I was thinking the same thing, but I have a dipstick to check hydraulic oil, another fluid check for transmission, plus another for differential? What else is there? Does the hydraulic have a fluid check plug and a dipstick on a 63 Ford 4000?

take it out a see ... Could be just a way of draining if you overfill . some engineers actually have some common sense .

I don't know anything about this particular tractor, but some gear cases are arranged such that they have separated volumes and require multiple level check points.

Would you rather 311 members replied they didn't know?

A guess.... Could it be a port for pressure testing or a port for returning fluid back to the sump from auxiliary device/valve?? Where's Soundguy?
