Can someone please help me out with recommendations on a 'common ground' oil weight for my 51 8n? For the life of me I can't remember what I used last oil change and of course I failed to write it down. Thought now would be the time to ask.
I've searched previous posts in this thread and find that most guys are using an appropriate weight oil for colder climates.
I'm middle ground where I'm at in PA. I'm not too worried about the cold months with starting the tractor. It is restored with a rebuilt engine. The tractor resides in a heated building and rarely even comes out in the winter.
Summer months it gets run through some parades and a yearly tractor ride that lasts approx 2 hours in continuous 4th gear. The upcoming tractor ride is what is prompting this oil change actually.
So to sum it up, what you guys recommend using that, like I said, is just a 'common ground' oil that will work year round? I don't really understand the oil weight numbers.
