Regarding the little door you remove to access the dipstick, I too have always wondered what exactly was its purpose.
let him know today this was on the ones with 3 pt hitch. They never sold a Cadet with 3pt and very few with the sleeve hitch.

Mine also has the expanding plug
My blue ribbon IH service manual does show the expanding plug too, I assume they changed it to prevent any chance of it popping out.
Unfortunately I have bad news about it only with three point  I got my 982 from the 2nd owner who only had it a few months, and it never had three point until I added it
