Go ahead and laugh. I don't add oil on any of my engines (2 excepted) between changes except my '63 2000 Ford Diesel and I got it that way. It and the '65 3000 get 15-40 Rot-T. Add a quart about every 6 months or so to the 2000. 3750ish hours on original engine. Bought it back about 1995 from a dealer in Abilene, TX. where there is a lot of dust.

It was my first diesel and I didn't know that if you needed ether to start in April in N. Texas, you had lousy compression. So I did an inframe on it at about 5800 hrs. That was about 15 years ago or so.
The rest are much newer and get synthetic (including my lawn mowers) which evaporates very little. I don't add oil to any of these between changes except for a Kohler 17.5 that leaks it out in a JD L110 lawn mower. Besides I'll be dead before I wear any of them out.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
