Looks to me like his experience did not support his theory or assumption that the ..or many.. Ford bearings were soft. The oil sender was the issue not degraded bearings. See third reply in linked post. Nothing against JF most humans are easily taken in by hear say or use the ..what happens to one must apply to all theory.. Here is a reply I posted on another forum the topic was ?? oil company was taking over providing oil for a major equipment manufacturer. I was making a general reply the opinion that the quality of their lubricants was going in the dumper because that company was known for making minimum spec products. ...the post......I suspect Joeblo Mechanic has had some bad experience with ?? oil at some point and now he foo- foos it. Just like the guys I worked for right out of high school talked up Quaker State and foo-foo’d Penzoil. Every time an engine came in with a lot of sludge they would immediately say “must have run Penzoil” not “they must not have changed their oil often enough” On here ..AgTalk.. not to long ago a guy was posting about how to tow his later model combine out of the field because it had a rod out and hole in the block. He said it was the first engine they lost in a major way in 40 years of farming. HE DID NOT say this but suppose he chose to change the oil preseason with some brand that saved a few bucks. Then lo and behold the engine lets go during harvest. You can easily see how the oil he put in could now be the worst oil ever. Oils are way more about the spec they meet than the name on the label, but in general brand loyalty wins. My two cents.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
