No the NYLON cam gear used on the 289up thru the 351 Windsor was when ford's light bulb burnt out . I started running Castrol back in 79 myself . where it shined the most was in my 88 Ford F 350 with the 460 , here on this truck i NEVER drove it any faster then what it would go and Never hauled more then i could stack on the 28 foot trailer and never drove it more then i could stand as during the early months of the year there were weeks that the oil got changed two times with all the out of state sales we were going to . When Ford recalled the truck with a list of recalls to be done while at the dealership they were tryen to deal with broken exhaust manifold bolts and cut corners and messed up both heads and were forced to put two new heads on it at the dealers expense . I had a look down into the cylinders and at 107thou and change the cross hatch was like new yet . I ran 15-40 in the winter and 20-50 in the summer . I ran that truck till she had 287and change on it and it did not use a Qt. of oil in between oil changes . Our old 2003 dodge Durango with the iron block 360 or should i say 5.9 has 223000 on it and still runs strong and it has lived on 10-30 Castrol since almost new as we bought it when it was less then a year old with 16000 on the clock. I just wished we had a bulk Castrol dealer around here as i would buy it in a 55 gallon drum . Now as for additives Nope don't use them . During my time working in dealerships, drag racing and running the mobile equipment end of two oil field service companys i have talked to delt with just about every lube salesman and snake oil salesman that has come down the pike . Only two have showen me that there product was better , L E products worked better then anything else on two water trucks that were a thorn in my side , both had the same drive line , engine transmission and rear ends and out of a fleet of 8 water trucks those two drove me up a wall with transmission failures and rear ends going out . Old Russ Metz the salesman for L E said that his gear lube would stop that and to prove it he sent me a 55 gallon drum to try and IF eityher of the transmission or rear ends failed i did not owe him a dime , well i gave hi a check for 1158 dollars a year later as neither had failed Grease gun grease the best was OILZUM(sp) at five bucks a case now they don't make it anymore Standard oil bought them out . I used it in the oil patch and my buddy and i ran it for year on the farm and in our semi's . even with the way we had our semi's turned up and the loads we hauled we NEVER had to replace u/joints / king pins , S cams or have a dry fifth wheel.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
