    I don't have the serial number for this machine and am unable to determine if I have an E-2 or an E-3 foot valve. Would this make a difference ?

    55 Michigan Transmission woes

    It is a 1970 55B. Is the cover located close to the filler tube which goes towards the back of the transmission? When I crawl underneath the loader it is hard to locate any kind of pan or cover.
