I’ve heard people using 15w-40. Is there any harm if I put a 15w-50 or 20w-50 in? How often should the oil be changed?
Think I would change it annually then. I would change the fuel filter at the same time too.Hi
Thanks for all your reply’s. The tractor does very light work. It’s used to Harrow an arena once a week for about 30-40 mins other than that it may be used to top a small field again about 2hours work twice a year.
Read somewhere that it's 120hrs between oil changes and 240hrs for oil and filter.
how does tractor start from cold ? as everyone knows the 4 cylinder is notorious bad starter
Do you run it on white or red?
Hi
Well just an update. I’ve finally got round to changing the oil and filters this morning. The tractor has good oil pressure but still has a little smoke. How smoky are these engines supposed to be. I know there 60 years old but still just wondering if it might be worth getting the engine rebuilt or if it’s me being too picky. It does seem happier on the new oil though but it might need to do some work to work it through.
Also another question my dipstick has 3 lines on it. I’m assuming this is min, half and max? Anyone else seen this.
