IHC low ash is .5%
For some definition on Low ash oil, I asked Shell Oil Co. to discuss the ash level in current oil My question was:
>I participate in a forum at Yesterdays Tractors. IH “Farmall” has specified >Low ash oil for use in its gasoline engines from the early 1960s. We are in a >discussion as to whether the current Low ash diesel grade oils are of the same >intended (or unintended) ash levels. My family has been a consistent user of >Rotella Oils, and would like to be assured that if we used 15- 40 Rotella >diesel oil in a 706 Farmall gasoline tractor, that it would meet the same low >ash intentions as the IH branded oil from the dealer. >Dr. James A Nicholson, Technology Department St. Cloud State University, >janicholson@stcloudstate.edu

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that.
