What is the purpose of the 2 holes beside the oil filter housing in my MF23? The bottom one seems to be weeping oil

One time before when someone had mystery holes, the thread kept going and going. This might be fun. :)

About 1/2 inch in diameter. I am thinking maybe optional block heater or oil cooler ?

There was some sort of option that would bolt up right there. If oil is leaking out of it then likely there would be a crack, but I'd guess there is oil that got into there from the outside as there is enough of it on the block itself, the heat is probably higher in that hole than on the outside and it warms it up and it flows better and you notice a leak.
This is all speculation and guess, but find a bolt, thread it in there, and likely never have oil seeping out again.

Massey placed it there to confuse you.

Probably where you would mount the continuum transfunctioner, if you had it.

Considering how filthy it is, I'd say anything is possible.
What a miserable pathetic loser you are, to sit at a computer all day trolling tractor forums to post thousands of sarcastic comments day after day. If my life becomes that pathetic, I hope someone will put out me out of my misery.
