I was just reading someone's post about loud hydraulics and I got to thinking about the money I "waste" when servicing machines. Does anyone else change every filter (except air, which gets checked and blown out) each time they change oil? I replace all fuel and hydraulic filters every time I change oil (100-125 hours) on any machine of any color. They don't recommend it, but I have never had a fuel problem or any kind of a hydraulic issue. I kind of figure the extra money I spend is insurance to help avoid a breakdown.
But it is spendy. When I picked up extra oil and filters for spring machine service it ran $1000. I might have knocked off $300 if I ditched the hydraulic and fuel filters. Anyone else "over service" their machines?
Speaking of - when I was in JD recently they were advertising going 300 hours between oil changes using Plus 50 oil. I use that in the John Deere machines but hate running much over 100 hours.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
