Sounds like a good project Creston! Always nice to see some innovation on this old stuff. Always some fabrication needed tho. Wish I was closer I would lend you my WD45.. I don't have enough work for it on my little 2 acre place. I may have to see if some of my local farmers need a hand but very hard to find a suitable job for these old tractors. Would look silly trying to disc a field beside a unit pulling a 50 ft disc. LOL.

Speaking of which, I always wanted to park my 8N in front of one of my uncles' big Deere air seeders while it's unfolded in the field (So's it looks like it's sowing wheat), then take a photo of this "monster power" 8N just for ol' Shameless and HD6GTOM to hang on their walls. Lol!
Also, does anyone have a pic of a D15 engine without the hood on? I'd like to see the location of the oil fill sump, as I don't really want to cut a new hole in my hood, so I'm sure "farmer ingenuity" could come up with something! Thanks!

The 5000D was a good tractor. My uncle had one. It was painted blue and was badged as a Fordson Major Diesel.

Yeah, that is true. A buddy of my Dad's used to sell Ford tractors at his Dad's dealership, and he said those were one tough machine!

The D15 had the oil fill at the right front corner of the and a vent at the rear of the Valvecover. The D14 tractors had the filler/breather angle out to the right at the center. The D10 & D12 had it near the front and straight down. As far as I know there was not anything for the 138/149/160 engines that will match the hole in the hood of a B. Get a spare hood and a D10/12 valvecover will be you best bet.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

This is what I did with the hood on my B with the D14 engine installation.

Neat! So, is that the new oil fill hole on the right? If so, I already have a hole there where my gasoline starter tank is.

Creston, yes the hole on the right is for the oil cap. But this valve cover is from a D14, I don't think the oil cap on a D15 would be in the same place.

Looks like PaulB explained the oil holes for both above.
