I have a John Deere H and checked the manual to see what weight gear oil to use. It says below 32 to use like a 90 weight and above 32 use 140 weight I store this tractor in winter and am wondering if 140 would be ok fore year round use and if i had to use in winter would i be able to start it? (hand start) it is in a garage that stays around 30 degrees or so. Also on these old tractors (2-cyl) it says to just use water and use the shutters or curtain to control temp, I have been keeping anti-freeze mixture in them or is it better to just drain and just put plain water back in in summer thanks for any help given

Arnie, the 140 will work good & won't effect starting as you start them cold with the clutch dis-engaged.. The biggest problem will be shifting at sub 0� temps..

~On the antifreeze, while it's true that antifreeze effects the cooling ability of those therm-o-siphon cooling systems while working hard in hot weather,, but for the most part it has little effect for light use or playing... In my estimation the benefits of using antifreeze far out weighs the slight cooling disadvantage of using it..

~Antifreeze is a excellent anti-corrosion addition & will keep your system from freezing or corroding due to any condensation forming in the cooling system in cold weather.. If you drain yours you will need to leave the drain plug out for condensation protection & that can let the mice get in the cooling system [if you have ever had mice get in the your cooling system you will never do that again].. If you do drain it put the plug back in loose as that allows any condensation to drain out but keeps pests out...
