patperry: I'm in Canada and use 15w-40 in everything from 4 cycle lawn mower, SuperA, 130, 140 and Buick Lesabre. 30 years ago I was running 9 tractors from SA to 1066, 4 GM gas trucks, an Olds and several small engines. I was using 3 separate oils as suggested by oil company. Employees kept getting oils mixed up, so I changed every vehicle to the exact diesel motor oil recomended for 1066, 30 in summer 20 in winter. 15 years ago changed to same grade oil only 15w-40. Of 5 diesels, none of them were ever rebuilt under 10,000 hours. Never had V8 GM that didn't go 300,000 miles. As near as I can tell my SA has never been rebuilt and 130 was 25 years ago. My lawn mower was given to me by the IH dealer the day I paid him for my new 1066 in 1975. It has mowed about 1/4 acre ever since. Deck, wheels, push handle and knife have all been replaced. Engine is intact with a new carb. I forgot one item, 1/2 million miles on a Chevy 6.2 and last I heard it is still going. I have started some of those vehicles at -40, but very rarely. 0 to -20F is the norm in winter. A Farmall 300 was on farm 35 years, always 6 volt and was started unassisted both days it was -40. Am I right, I'll let you be the judge. In my opinion nothing you do to your vehicle is more important than the oil you use.

Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
