oil use??

Hey,
Tractor used about a quart and a half of oil in 10 hours (4 of them mostly at 1900 rpm mowing. Acceptable???? Amazing what a new fuel filter do.guess I'll start replacing twice a year......
 
for a older motor working probly is not that bad, not good but not bad. When you start to burn more then that I would consider a ring job.
 
didnt you just have that thing overhauled? or was it just a valve job? if the latter,thats why.
my dozer uses about same amount in that time frame...qt and a half still cheaper than a new engine or overhaul...keep her full and keep goin
 

47 years old and according to the paperwork, original motor and the guy I got it from got it from the original owner and said the motor hadn't been touched.. I had rod and main bearings done but not the rings.... Starts quick and doesn't smoke but maybe a little under load
 
I consider a quart in 8 hours of hard use acceptable. Most of mine do that once they get over 4000 or so hours.
 
I had rather have a engine to use a little oil during a hard Days work than it not,You know it is getting well lubed and not to thick or motor is getting plenty of oil. I would not say that 1 quart per 8 hours of hard work is too bad at all. If it were mine I would be happy with that.
 
Rebuilt to factory specs or not, checking the oil atleast once a day, or after every shut down, was in the book for a reason, every original owner's manual I ever saw. when oil was 2-5 cents a quart, no one cared. So an old timer using a quart/ litre a day is just fine in my book too. And I bet there is no blue in the exhaust or any leaks either... it just.. disappears....
