Yes, there is a fill check plug...on the early ones it is a small pipe plug a little ways up on the RH side right next to a four bolt cover plate. Later ones have a more conventional fill neck on the other side.
Post the serial number of your unit and I should have the clutch & brake adjustment procedure.
Not all that familiar with the LeTourneau cabling but the Cat arrangement is LH cable going to the Apron and the RH cable to the bowl.
When operating the scraper, after unloading, operate with the bowl and the apron partially lowered. Turning the tractor and scraper with the bowl raised to the extreme limit and the apron and ejector to the extreme unloading position may cause cable breakage because there is no provision for extra cable movement.

Ok went and got serial # of unit 9D33487
There's no plug on the rightside 4 bolt plate
or on the leftside 4 bolt plate.
I don't see any filler type cap on left or right sides
I'll study on it some more .

Look again....as stated it is not on the plate...it's right next to it on the RH side of the unit. Small plug..3/8 or 1/4 in. pipe....easy to miss.
I'll post instructions later today.
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.
