I wish there was a way to certify or verify.....whatever the proper term might be...what I am about to say.
I am 51 years old. My 'new' tractor is 3 years old. I hope to live an active life for 25 more years.
I have decided to never change the oil in my tractor again. Why? Just bygod because I want to see what horrible calamity will befall me. For the last 30+ years I have listened to every armchair expert expound about what they know, what they do/did, what they read, what they were told, etc., etc, but not a one has the balls to find out if it is all true.

So, I have fairly fresh engine and hopefully the time to find out what will happen. So here goes...this won't cost any of you, one thin dime and never ever will change your opinion or make your a$$ not stink. But, I'm going to find out. The crankcase has JD oil in it and a JD filter...we'll see how damned good they are!

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
