rear tire pressure is depending on tire size, weights and ballast. air the rear tires up so that the tread stays flat on the ground and you dont have a bulge in the sidewall.. unless its a radial. lots of folks over inflate the tire so the only the very center of the tread is used and this is too much air... so based on that, some tractors run 10 lbs, other will run as much as 18 lbs if loaded heavily.
oil.. hd oils have improved to the point that diesel trucks regualarly get a million miles between overhauls and these are heavily loaded trucks that run every day of the week with full loads.. do NOT run light duty car oil in your tractor when you can run hd oils for a few pennies more. Shell rotella, chevron delo, mobile delvac 15w-40 are all heavy duty oils with fantastic proven records. You can run the same oils in the 5w-40 sythetic version if you need sub zero starting and do snow removal work. Again, do NOT run 30wt car oil in your tractor!!!!
Diesel fuel.. run #2 in the summer and #1 in the winter. number 1 diesel fuel has less power and is only used in winter as the better number 2 fuel will not flow well in cold temperatures. So buy your diesel fuel based on the time of year. The stations will automatically sell the correct fuel at the right time of the year for you area as well. If you have a left over tank of number 2 fuel in the tractor, and it gets down to 20 degrees or colder, the fuel will not flow through the filter adn will stopped up unless the filter is heated. Tractors usually return the warm fuel to the filter to help prevent the filter from waxing up in cold weather on most models. So if you do snow plowing, you will be concerned about using number 1 diesel and 5w-40 oil for your tractor. hope this helps.. bill

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
