From what little I understand I this subject, the TDH that Walmart sells up here in Canada is recycled oil. As per the bucket, it meets the spec of Ford/NH 134D, and several others, most of which I don't pay attention too. I only worry about the Ford spec. To me, that means that it meets the viscosity, pour points, flash points, antiwear, and friction modifier properties of the Ford spec. I got in a row with my dealer over this subject this past summer. He was peddeling some Irving oil at the time, which was not price competitive. So, he called Irving, and spoke with a triboligist, and posed your very question to him. His response entailed what I listed above. However, in addition, he stated that the Walmart oil was not of the same QUALITY. The premise was that the so called strength or durability of the additive package in the walmart oil was not up to Irving's standard, or likely Ford's, or Deere's or Esso's and so on. In short, it has a shorter service life. So, I flip a coin. It costs half as much to buy. It'll probably last better than half as long, but essentially, cost wise it's a wash in the long run. However, in my situation, I dump oil a lot more frequently than the 1200 hour interval that's recomended due to contamination anyway, along with constant leaks on loaders and so on.... so I never get the service life from the high cost oil. So I buy the cheap stuff. Either from Walmart or Canadian Tire. Crappy Tire is closer for me, so most comes from there..... So that's the low down on TDH, as given to me from the experts. Rod

Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
