Hi:
Ever since the 1940's I can remember discussions and disagreements as to what oil to use. Until 1975, I cleared snow with a 1939 B John Deere with a mechanical loader. When I look back on it, that was about as difficult equipment to use as could be. It seemed O.K. at the time, and was better than a scoop shovel. In real cold weather, I would pour some boiling water on the intake manifold and it always started. At any rate, in cold weather I first used 10W with a pint or so of kerosene added. When It became available, I used 5W and then 5W-30. I never had any trouble with lubrication. The B is still in the family. Hope this helps.
