I recently purchased used, a thatcher & aerator. Both have hondas.Ones a 5.5 hp the other is a 4 hp. What are the 2 oil fill holes for? One plug has a dipstick the other does not.Any ideas how much oil they hold? :usflag:

I was thrown off for a second too... thought I was missing something.. is just there in case you cant acces the main one or connect it to a few other fhings. most of the time you dont need to worry about it... just check that its not loose once in while

The gray dipstick can be put in place of the black plug if the engine is mounted on a machine the dipstick can't be gotten to for oil checking. Both holes lead to the engine crankcase, Drain the oil from the lower plug and re-fill through EITHER upper plug for proper oil level.

I have never seen a pressure washer with a clutch, Most are direct drive right off the crankshaft or through a gear reduction box as pugs mentioned earlier.

Restor Bob,
Absolute pleasure to read a reply that zero's in on the concern with a simple answer.
