I'm changing oil on a MH 101 Jr. with a Continental F-162 gas engine. I acquired the tractor about 3 years ago, and when I got it I pulled and cleaned the pan, oil filter housing and all the associated lines. There was tar-like sludge in the pan. After cleaning, I filled it with Rotella 15-40 heavy duty diesel engine oil, and used the tractor for about 100 hours. It used some oil, but the tractor is 76 years old. The oil that came out during my oil change today is black, and sludge-like. And there were gritty particles (carbon?) attached to the drain plug (not metal though). Albeit it is cool today, I would think a 15-40 oil would not be like this. I'm thinking the new oil, with its cleansing additives broke loose a whole lot of gunk in a neglected engine. My question is: Should I pull the pan and clean it again, or just rely on the next couple of oil changes to flush all this stuff out of the internals? I checked the mains when I had the pan off and they looked good. The engine holds 20 psi oil pressure, hot, idle. I checked that with another gauge, because I didn't trust the one in the dash. Should I worry about any sludge that didn't come out the drain? steve

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
