Thanks again for the help. I used the tractor today with my PTO wood chipper to see how it did under load. Smoked a little in the beginning but that was it. I guess I got lucky. someguyss, thanks for the PDF file. I looked again at my engine and I can't find the fill port that is shown in the picture. Possibly that was a design change made after my model year, 2005? I will just take it slow when filling up next oil change.
