Maintenance is coming along nicely, so far got...

Oil, and filter changed.
Greased all zerks according to manual.
Changed fuel filter,cleaned out sediment bowl.
Cleaned out crankcase breather and air filter..re-oiled.
New plugs,plug wires,points,condenser,rotor and cap (set points to .020).
topped off hydaulic fluid.
 
Next...change the antifreeze before it gets colder.
Drain and refill hytran.
check final drive levels.
 
Another dumb question...Where do you check the power steering fluid?
I see the tank...do you just unscrew the cap and look down in to see the fluid at some sort of level?
Thanks!

Good -- keeping her happy. Get that antifreeze in her -- winter is coming. Sorry, can't help with your question - don't have a WD45.

I do not know what the book calls for but I fill mine to 2 inches below the top of tank. If you get it too full and work it hard it will overfow out of the cap.
