Thanks Dan. Yeah we take some short-cuts, make-do"s, and good-enoughs on our "occasional" tractors sometimes but when you"re running day-in-day out and needing to make a living those short-cuts and make-do"s can cost some time and real money. I spent years responsible for heavy industrial plant maintence with all the pumps, motors, drives, gear-boxes, and many, many types of industrial equipment and learned the value of and cost savings in understanding using the proper gasket and seal materials and lubrication and other fluids and gases. Small, seemingly insignificant and often overlooked, changes can mean the difference between a system working or not, much less working in a dependable, efficient, durable, and cost effective manner. Coming from that I suppose, the detergent/non-detergent, partial-filter thing has been in the back of my mind for some time now. My experience is that these matters can be significant, now I know, and I can go paint my shed today.
