I love oil war threads. I don"t see them here all that often but go to a diesel pickup discussion forum and read till your eyes hurt. Some guys would get into fist fights if not seperated by the web. After 25 years working in a Kubota tractor dealership and 30 years of owning, operating, maintaining and repairing my own diesel equipment (tractors below 100 hp and diesel pickups) I can say that I have NEVER seen an engine overhauled due to an engine related oil failure IF something EVEN CLOSE to the proper weight, proper API rating, proper fluid level and some resemblence of proper change interval has been maitained.

Good luck to all. -Steve-

I personally don't think it can be beat for a utility tractor in the 40 HP range. They are extremely thrifty on fuel, at least my DSL is. Most drive train parts are fairly easy to get. Sheet metal is probably the hardest thing to
