Here's something I got to pondering. The best minds in the coffee shop were stumped today too. Question first,then the examples. Will a tractor with an oil bath air cleaner be more prone to moisture in the oil than one with a dry element filter?
I've had quite a time with my Oliver 1600 getting ice in the bottom of the pan when I use it everyday to feed round bales. It has an oil bath. So does the 77. I use that one everyday on the silage cart. Neither one runs long enough to really warm up. I changed the oil in the 77 the other day and like the 1600 does,there was a big block of ice in the pan. I've put the loader off the 1600 on the Oliver 1550 for now. Put it on there in early September in fact. Hadn't changed oil in that one in a while,so I changed that one day before yesterday too. No ice,dry element filter. One more example,my John Deere 1020. I've got a loader on that,dry element,use it everyday to load silage,load manure once or twice a week,it's never had ice in it. Has to be moisture from the air. If they were leaking antifreeze into the oil,it wouldn't freeze.
