I want to change the engine oil and fuel filters on a 720 diesel. The Tractor has been in the wifes family for as long as I can remember. The only oil
that they ever used on everything that ran was 15/40 Delvac or Rotela. The operators manual recommends 10/30 oil. Is there a consensus on what oil
to run in this Tractor? Also, the operators manual only recommends replacing the primary fuel filter. Only replacing the secondary filter during
overhaul. Seems to me I should replace them both at the same time. It looks to me looking at the parts manual that the primary and secondary fuel
filters are the same part number. Usually the secondary filter is different than the primary on most diesel engines. The engine was overhauled about
40 years ago, and I doubt if it has 200 hours on the rebuilt engine since then.
