Thanks for your feedback. It seems like the results have been pretty universal. When I switched to all Mobil 1 lubricants 15 years ago, I did so because I wanted the benefits of less wear during dry starts and the protection against high heat damage. Sure, I got those, but I also got these... 1) Minimum 5% increase in fuel mileage (OTR vehicles) 2) Engines remain far cleaner 3) Transfer cases less noisy 4) Differentials less noisy 5) The grease is waterproof so chassis lubes are required less frequently. 6) Block heater use no longer required no matter how cold it gets. Before Mobil 1, the T/FD on my Oliver 1650G was reluctant to shift when cold (like way below zero cold). It would free up after it warmed up but by that time I was done plowing and it was back in the barn. After Mobil 1, the dead cold T/FD shifts in the coldest weather just like it does when the weather is hot. (75W-90 gear lube). I have experienced zero parts failures and zero leaks. I saved the best for last. My 1650G has over 10K hours on it, it's never had a wrench on it, and both compression and vacuum are perfect. I figure it's good for another 10K hours if I live that long!

My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
