Petroleum versed Synthetic Oil. With petroleum in the engine,88% of the internal contamination comes from the oil.This is because of the chemical reactions within the engine's crankcase between petroleum oil and various by-products of combustion,including sulfer,heat and water.It is not the by-products themselves that make the oil dirty.It is the chemical reactions caused by the by-products.Synthetic oil (the good ones) are not susceptible to these chemical reactions in the crankcase.To understand this,we must look at the difference in molecular structure of petroleum and Synthetic oil.Petroleum is a hydrocarbon.Certain Synthetic oil are a diester formed by combining fatty acids with isoprppyl alcohol in a five million dollar synthesis machine.Certain Synthetic oils are 100% saturated.This means that it is made up entirely of tightly bonded molecules that are extremely difficult to break apart.Petroleum oils are less than 55% saturated,often less than 50%.This means that almost half of every qt of oil you put in your engine is unsaturated,or loosely bonded molecules of hydrocarbons.It is not the saturated part of petroleum that causes problems,it is the half that's unsaturated or loosely bonded hydrocarbons.Synthetic oils high surface tension (higher than water)causes it to cling to metal and to sheath tiny particles of water in a glove of Synthetic untill the temperature of the water rised abov 212 Degrees. Then 100% of the water evaporates.Condensation can therefore be easily tolerated with Synthetic oil. Synthetic oil has high film strenth.Film strenth refers to the amount of pressure it takes to squeeze the lubricant out from between two flat pieces of steel.Petroleum oil ranges from 250 psi to 550 psi film strenth.The top of the line Synthetic oils film strenth is over 3250 psi,(it almost bonds to the inside of the engine)and there is no place within the normal internal combustion engine that reaches even a third this pressure.Therefore,the entire inside of the engine "floats"on a film of Synthetic oil at all times (hardly no metal on metal).And most engines get better fule mileage because of this, and alot less engine wear,"and a boost in horse power. Synthetic oil is by nature,a high detergent lubricant.It is formulated specifically for high detergency (higher than petroleum). As a result,Synthetic oil has the ability to remove tar,sludge,varnish and other deposits from the inside of the crankcase,leaveing wear surfaces mirror clean.Gum and varnish and other contaminants are already present in every qt of petroleum oil you buy,Synthetic oil has none of that junk in it! There is alot more i could say here,but i am not going to take up anymore space. But: Just remember this: For every qt of Synthetic oil you buy,you help to decreese our dependence on forign oil.Stop and think about it???? When we buy there forign oil, who are we supporting???? Could it be possible that we are supporting the terror organizations in some way? If we want to help America....... lets change our thinking. :-)

Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
