[QUOTE="753g, post: 1823, member: 272"] Another note on Cold starts if you live in an area that get cold/below freezing consider using sythetic lubricants not only do they offer better protection against thermanl breakdown, but the actually flow/ pour when it very cold preventing dry starts. I run mobil1 5w-40 synthetic for my crankcase, and I use synthecic grease on all pivot points. One of the guys I do work for uses lithuium on his JD240. it was creaking and howling last night when ever you had a load in the bucke. The grease had frozen making it uselss as far as a lubricant. FYI Lithium Grease is water based, it is CR@P Especially in cold weather. Note on Synthetic oil, Make sure the stuff you use is rated for use in diesel engines look for a CF/CG API rating, The C part of CF or CG means combustion ignition. [/QUOTE]
