    Engine Code Date

    Thanks. The shiny photo was 2011 after I refurbished it. The faded are present day after being parked for years. I'm getting her back in service now.

    Engine Code Date

    Hi. I have a 540 Utility tractor with engine code 341S06184 (0 could be O). Is it possible to determine manufacture date? I know it is early 60s from a parts order back in 2011. The steering cylinder parts breakdown listed it as prior to sn 8262800 (1/60-12/64).

    Gear oil

    Fifty year old manuals just say gear oil. It is hard to know what to use. You made me laugh about the battery. I remember people insisting that you must put a board between batteries and cement floor.

    Gear oil

    Thanks. I read that in a VW bug forum. I just put GL5 in my '59 F 350 and am now bringing back to life ny Case 540. I guess I'll need it for the Case as well.

    Gear oil

    Has anyone heard about not using GL5 rated gear oils in vintage gearboxes? I just read on another forum to only use GL4 to avoid damage to brass components..
