What would be the amount of time for break-in oil in a newly rebuilt model B engine?

Thanks in advance

Dick

I worked for JD for a few years and strongly stand by the breakin oil, fine product and also know that a local repair shop uses this oil in any engine they rebuild from a cat to a chevy, and JD to IH, basically any engine that gets overhauled gets the breakin oil no matter what color or make.

Excellent point Chris - I would do the same.

Again thanks to all of your inputs. The help on these posts are great. A fine bunch of people.

We have a brand new JD dealership that just opened up about 6 weeks ago in Sprindale Arkansas about 25 miles from me. I'm going to call them in the morning and see if they have the TY22041 break-in oil ins stock.

I put on about 40 hours of work on my 43B. Did plowing, cornbinding, husking and shreeding, threshing and disking with mine to break it in. Got detergent oil in now and no oil use. Put out 21 hp when the motor had about 5 hours on it.

My 2 cents.

These guys probably know a lot more about two-cylinders than me. However, I know JD would not produce break-in oil if there was not an advantage to it. Today's engine oils have anti-wear and detergent additives to reduce engine wear in engines that are already seated in. Break-in oil doesn't have as many of these additives. Anybody that knows anything about engines, knows that for an engine to be broken in, parts have to wear against each other. Be it cam/lifters, rings/cylinder walls, etc. The break-in oil simply speeds this process. However, without these additives, the oil doesn't stay as clean, etc. That's why you only run break-in oil 100 hrs, whereas Plus 50 can be ran far longer. All I can say, having rebuilt dozens of engines, I am very impressed with the results we have seen from break-in oil. I guess if it's good enough to break-in a $150,000 8520, it ought to work great in a B. This is my two cents, but I can tell you that when my G makes it's first trip to the dyno, it will have break-in oil in it. I'll let you know how it turns out.

JD break-in oil is recommended to be used 100 hrs in engines like 466s etc. Then, if the engine still uses oil, run it another 100 hrs. You should also not add oil until the level reaches the add mark. Doing this ensures that the additives in the oil are properly used by the engine. I'm sure it could take a long time to put 100 hrs on a B. I think I would run the tractor on the dyno at full load for about 10 hrs, then dump the oil and put in whatever you're going to run. If you have a consumption problem, go back to the break-in for 10 or 20 hrs and pull it good again. I have heard good things about using break-in oil in two-cylinders, but have no experience with it personally - yet.
