I have a 1935 Case wheel tractor with a kerosene/gas engine. I run it on gas. It has four cylindres, very long stroke with oversize sparkplugs. It runs good once started. I can no longer find non-detergent motor oil for the crankcase. I was told by the former owner when I purchased it in 1974 that I must not use detergent oil as it would ruin the bearings and seals. I have always followed his direction and the tractor runs fine. Do any of you know where I can find 40 weight non-detergent motor oil? Or have other suggestions. The auto parts place said I could use compressor oil, as it was non-detergent. It is only 30 wt but I can add an oil additive to thicken it up. I hate to see the engine ruined after all of these years.

We use non detergent 30weight oil, we use shell make, it is bought at local Advanced auto parts store. Also Citgo makes a 40weight non-detergent oil. Check more than one local store, also check wal-mart. I saw some non-detergent there yesterday.

I have a Case D, and a John Deere D. I use 30 wt. non-detergent oil in both of them. I find my 30 wt. non-detergent oil at Wal Mart. It is less than a dollar a qt.; something like 80 cents a qt. I haven't had any trouble out of either of my tractors, and I use them to plow with in the spring.

Gary, I would stick with the non detergent. But do not use a compressor oil they contain some anti foaming agents and not enough rust inhibitors. I use CenPeCo oil out of cleveland 1 800 553-1891 ask for blaine. They make a special oil for Antique Tractors that is heavy in Anti rust and Storage protection without being a Detergent oil. Check them out at "Cen-Pe-Co.com" they will ship anywhere. I use their non detergent 20 and 40 weight.
