Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, Dana!

I have a 65 A100 pickup with a 225 engine three speed tranny. I'm not sure how many quarts of oil it takes. Also, would there be any problems using a 5-30W synthetic in the engine? Thanks

I have a 65 A100 with a slant six 225. I'm confused as to the correct orientation of the dip stick handle. When I put it in one way, the oil reads beyond full. When I flip the handle and install it the other way, it reads oil is low. Is the dip stick in the correct orientation if the markings on...

Thanks for your response. I will check the vent line.

Mine is a 65 A100 pickup.

I changed out the T-handle on my emergency brake shaft on my 65 A100. The new plastic T-handle also uses a rolling pin, however, I have not had success drilling out the old rolling pin. I even tried to drill a new hole through the emergency shaft and nothing seems to phase the steel shaft. I...

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that tomorrow.

I did look into a replacement as you suggested, Barbee, but man are the little ones pricey. If you know where I can find one at a reasonable cost I'm all ears.
