[QUOTE="Captain Sensible, post: 8236090, member: 107484"] Ah, now there's a man with a good memory! But how many 7000's or 76's ever had their engine oil changed that frequently? All too few if I remember rightly and it was some black, watery sh*te when it finally saw the light of day. Guess the truth is (apart from the STOU oil specs of the time) that the limited (Ford 5000) sump capacity which the '76' was saddled with wasn't really sufficient for the demands of the engine. A limited volume of oil that got a hard time, so it required more frequent change intervals. Come to think of it, the tractor's fuel tank capacity was also severely limited. And now today we've forgotten all those restrictions & regard them as marvelous things! ......... Reckon we only remember the good bits :) [/QUOTE]
