OK. In the past I have bought fuel oil and used the same tank for a furnace in my shop in the barn and to burn in my tractors and any off road equipment. I do not burn it in any ON road vehicles so that�s not a concern! Right now Fuel oil is $2.48 gallon locally. I�m in New York State. Farm diesel is $2.09 gallon if I buy 1000 gallons. Fuel supplier says it exactly the same fuel, dyed the same and comes out of the same tank. In order to get farm diesel I need to have a farm exempt tax form on file with them. Fuel oil supposedly has no sales tax on it so I am unsure why there is such a big difference in the above prices. Even the supplier couldn�t give me any logical answer. I�m really only a little hobby farm but have quite a few pieces of diesel equipment. I wouldn�t burn 1000 gallons in just the tractors in a year by any means. What�s really needed to qualify as being �farm exempt� as far as diesel fuel goes. Who will ever know what I burn the fuel in once I have it in my tank? How fussy would they be as to whether it goes in a tractor or a furnace? Obviously I�m just trying to beat the high cost of diesel fuel but don�t want to end up in jail over it. The difference adds up to almost $400 and I am unsure as to why.

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.

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
