When I was a kid my sister and I were playing in my dad's 40 something Ford pickup. It had been sitting for a while. I blew the horn and yellow jackets flew out and stung us.
Programming parts is going to become more and more common, unfortunately. Working on our own equipment will be difficult for a lot of repairs. They took the dipsticks out of automatic trannys, now working on doing it to engines. They come up with new dumb ideas daily.
My straight six was probably Agway oil. Farm supplier. We used it for years. I do run Rotella in a couple tractors. They use some oil but they are entitled with their age and hours. I might give Delo a try.
I used to have a Ford straight six. The thing would start ticking to let me know it was time to change the oil. I told my bud that and he said yeah, ok. Showed him.
Lots of shops around here use waste oil heaters. Quite a bit of maintenance that you have to do yourself, but it seems to be worth it.
They take small amounts of oil back here, anyplace that sells oil. When oil is high they will pay money for waste oil.
German engineering can be quirky. Been working on my bud's BMW 30i. You need to recalibrate the transfer case after you change the oil. With special software. $7 or 800 at the dealer.
Do you know what they are doing on the farm? Obviously it was a dairy farm. I read that 3 out of the last 20 years were profitable for the average dairy farm. Small ones have mostly gone out. Tough being a farmer. If it's not the weather it's world politics or oversupply.
My neighbors yard had 4 maple trees in it since I was young. Really made the yard. I thought so since i was a kid. Next owner came in and put in a garage and a wrap around drive. The 3 they encroached on are gone now.
