Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeWe ran several Massy Ferguson's but not with oil mixtures. They were dead reliable. Don't know squat as to their characteristics with running oil mixtures. However...
Here is my experience with diesel, transmission, oil and hydraulic fluids. In March of 2008 when diesel was just under $4 a gallon I was running mixtures in my 1994 7.3 IDI Turbo Diesel. I used a straight diesel fuel in the front tank during winter. In the summer it was 20% oil to diesel in the front tank. The front was for cold starts. Once the engine was warmed up I swapped to the rear tank. With engine oil it was a 50/50 with diesel. In the summer time transmission and hydraulic fluids would be mixed 80/20 diesel. Being mindful not to be one of those inconsiderate punks that purposely annoy people with there smoke I was surprised how little mine smoked. The 80% transmission fluid yielded 1.5-1.7 miles per gallon more than straight diesel.
This was all done with the donations a friend would make from his occupation as a forklift mechanic. I saved him a trip to the Dallas hub to dispose of his oil barrels. It was messy filtering the oil out but worth it. By June of 2008 diesel was over $4 a gallon. Thank's to him my average was less than a dollar a gallon per a 38 gallon fill up.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
