D-2 clutch lubrication

Yes oil goes in the clutch and there is a level plug there in the front cover to remove and take the top side little cover off or slide to the side and fill with oil till it comes out of the plug hole in the front cover there.You use CO (crankcase oil) in it same as you use in the starting engine itself. Some earlier tractors had a fill plug on top of the housing but don,t know if yours does or just the little cover held on by two bolts but either way that,s where you fill it to the little hole of the level plug removed down in the front cover of the clutch housing.

Thanks,

My little 3-J has a plug on the top of the housing. I'll go fill her now and check it out.

Mahalo,

John remember as I told you, you don,t fill the housing clear to the top plug hole but that,s just where it goes in and the level plug is down in front on the little front cover of the clutch housing so with that plug out just put enough oil in at the top plug till it comes out the bottom plug hole and put the plugs back in and you should be ready to go.

Thanks,

I took the lever off and inspected things. I see what your refering too. I see a casting in the bottom of the housing where the oil sits. It doesn't look like it requires much. It appears that it's just enough for the clutch to grab onto the oil a slight amount as it spins.

What lubricates the pinion gears under the pony? Engine oil?

Thanks again. This a great way to learn !
