Howdy all who are here,

New to the forum, not new to Hart Parr's as I have my Grandfathers 18/36i...(flat spoke) Just want to know what other 18/36 owners are using in their engine oil box's for lube. I have about 2.5 gal left of what my uncle left with the tractor, but I wish to get more to have on hand. My tactor is in original shedded condition, not with out sun fade and oil stains of many years of use... But it still retains quite a bit of original paint, especially on the engine, and transmission, with no pitting on the tansmission cover. It has wheel extensions as well. The engine was overhauled after WW2, with new factory parts. Starts and runs very well, as it has been a family treasure for many years, with my uncles time and efforts to keep it maintained. It has never been a none runner except from 1959-70, at witch time the oil box was overhauled. Shortly after that the mag was rewound. ( It wears the original mag oiled canvas/leather? cover) But since that time it has been run annually, with trips to thrashing bee's the past several years. Trans leakes around the base seal though. Look forward to reading the posts here. I am sure there is much to learn from a group such as this. I look forward to it. Best regards, Kirk
