BTW, this is a great product to dress up rocker covers in case your bolts are showing some corrosion inside:

Or replace the allen bolts with stainless items. Those chrome steel caps will rust without regular wipe down type cleaning, and will retain moisture underneath, causing the stock chrome allen bolts to just rust more.
In the U.S. allensfasteners.com (less expensive) and totallystainless.com (minimums and more expensive but larger selection of stainless items) are a couple of good sources.

I think I just overfilled it last time, I will check it again next time I am under it.
Does everyone else's engine weep a little oil from the bottom covers if it has not been driven in a few weeks? Last trip to the dealer I had then seal everything up, no more leaks!

We bought 7 acres of land with a shop to retire to, so right now I am driving the tractor a lot more than I am driving the Morgan. I hope to change that as we build out the house further! I still love the car, but it has been sitting too much since pre-covid. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086911488361

Am I correct in thinking that the tractor is a pre-1947 Ferguson-Ford ? According to Wikipedia, in order to get volume production with lower costs, following a demonstration of his tractor before Henry Ford Senior in October 1938, Ferguson made a gentlemen's agreement with Ford, also referred to as the handshake agreement, to produce the Ferguson tractor in Detroit starting in mid-1939. Is it one of these?
