According to my parts book it says 14 quarts and the 46 unit uses 7 gallons. Quite a differance. Charlie
Charlie, thanks I'll put in 14 and see how she works

Ya, my operators book says 3.5 gallons minimum to operate.
Wouldn't you think the level will drop when you fill the hoses and the cylinders? Ya don't want to hurt anything. Charlie
For sure the cyl's and hoses will lower the fill level, I picked up a 5 gallon pail, I'll start with the 14 qts, run it to fill the cyl & hoses then add more oil, once it warms up, I can see into the fill tube, If I can see oil in the fill tube when its warm it should be enough oil in the system.

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.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
