    Motul Sport 5w-40?

    I just saw a Motul oil that I am not familiar with called Sport. Is anyone here familiar with it? It's even pricier than the 300V 5w-40, and I wondered if it is meant to replace the 300V oils. My diesels love the 300V and I would like to try some of this new oil.

    Pump 12 gauge opinions

    I have a bunch of Model 12's and several Ithaca 37's. The M12 is a bulletproof design, but it's clunky. The Model 37's have a very slick action, that would be my pick.

    Getting the moisture out

    I run Seafoam in these old engines along with cheap oil for several cycles to flush out the old sludge and water. For the gearboxes I use Redline's Shockproof gear oil. Works wonders on worn/abused gears. Flush the gearbox with some kerosene or motor flush to remove the crud in it.

    Renewable Lubricants Oils?

    Has anyone here tried RL's oils in a diesel engine? I'm considering trying their 5w-40 in an old IH 856 tractor, but first I have to flush out the old crud.

    Oxalic Acid Flush?

    I've seen some old-school recipes using oxalic acid to flush radiators. Anyone here have any experience using this stuff to clean rads? I have an old tractor cooling system to clean, and was wondering how effective this would be. Most of the store-bought stuff is too weak to do much.

    Cordless Grease Guns

    I recently got a Dewalt 20v cordless grease gun. Thought it was a silly idea until I tried it on my tractors. Wow! What used to take a half hour is now done in a few minutes. Powerful enough to blast through crud on neglected grease fittings. I put a LockNLube coupler on it to help latch on to...

    Delo 400 Severe Duty?

    I'm running the Delo SD in an Allis Chalmers 220 right now. No leaks or consumption issues. Engine starts easier, too. I will probably switch to a synthetic oil later, but this stuff is doing the job for me.

    Sleeve Retainer Compund?

    I am rebuilding a diesel engine with wet sleeves/liners, and was wondering if I should use a sleeve retainer compound on the liners? This engine has leaked around the o-rings on the liners before and I want to make sure that it stays sealed. It's an International Harvester D312 inline-6 engine.

    Trans/Hydraulic Fluid for Old Tractor?

    I'm looking at an old Deutz 13006 tractor that specs 20W oil for both the trans and hydraulics, power steering too. Would Shaeffers Simplex trans/hydraulic fluid be a good substitute? Or, should I just find some 20W oil?

    Delo 400 Severe Duty?

    I noticed that Amazon is carrying a new oil, Delo 15w-30 Severe Duty. Does anyone here have experience with it? I want to try it in my IHC Hydro 86 tractor.

    Weird Mower Problem--Kubota F2400

    I have an old Kubota F2400 diesel mower that I bought used a few years back. It has a weird problem that I have not been able to solve: it won't start unless I put a booster on the battery. I've replaced the battery, starter, alternator, key switch, even put new battery cables on. It acts like...
