Instead of taking the enviromental terrorist / exploiter / defiler route as some others will.. you would be better served to use one of the cheap and available protective chemicals that don't have such a hars environmental impact. I prefer asphalt based fence paint. It is virtually environmentally inert once cured, and provide great protection.. A 5 gallon bucket will do your deck many times, and is very very cheap. The new latex based fence paints will be a tad more expensive.. but will help protect as well. When i bought my wood deck 16' car hauler, it's deck lasted less than 2 years and rotted.. was using pt wood, and sat out int he sun and rain.. When i repalced the decking, I again used pt wood, and painted it liberally using a roller with the aspahlt fence paint.. it's going on 5 years now, and the wood is still perfect... If you like green.. you could use copepr napthenate fence post dip.. though i believe it would be more expensive.. and may not offer the uv protection that the black fence paint does.. howver might have superior bug/fungas resistance.. I'll appologize for being abit of an environmental stickler.. but after the ecology and environmental science courses i took while getting my CE degree.. well.. It doesn't take too many classes about polloution to know it is wrong to intentionally dump used oil ( classified as hazardous waste ) on any surface where it can leach out into the environment. Use doil contains toxic compounds and heavy metals. You got any kids? Elderly parents? Would you intentionally poison them by putting used motor oil in their food? No? well if you dump it out where it can leach.. you are doing the same thing.. just takes longer... and impacts lots of people and animals.. not just a few.. Soundguy

My first recollection of this tractor was when dad allowed my brother and myself to ride on the tractor with him driving. One of us would sit on the left fender (away from the clutch) and other would sit on the gas tank and hold onto the crankcase breather pipe.
