Re: 560 Gas

I find your posts difficult to read, for obvious reasons so I usually don't read the whole thing -- you don't know it all, no one does. Many things cause engine problems, from normal wear and tear to abuse. If you listen to the engine under load, it will tell you whether you need higher octane gas, ie detonation. High octane gas and low ash oil are not going to cure abuse, or normal wear and tear. About any current oil on the market now should be better than the ones sold when IH came out with the low ash thing 30-40?? years ago. "The operators manual is a good thing to have and the rest IMPO the rest is a waist of money since your not into the parts business and part no. changes as fast as one changes his socks nowdays i leave that to the dealers to keep up with " The dealers computers change it automatically, I just give them the number and in maybe 30 seconds he can tell me whether he has it or not. And yes I am in the parts business for my own tractors. In order to be certain I'm getting the right part, I look the number up first. It is much faster than having the parts man do it.
