Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeWe ran several Massy Ferguson's but not with oil mixtures. They were dead reliable. Don't know squat as to their characteristics with running oil mixtures. However...
Here is my experience with diesel, transmission, oil and hydraulic fluids. In March of 2008 when diesel was just under $4 a gallon I was running mixtures in my 1994 7.3 IDI Turbo Diesel. I used a straight diesel fuel in the front tank during winter. In the summer it was 20% oil to diesel in the front tank. The front was for cold starts. Once the engine was warmed up I swapped to the rear tank. With engine oil it was a 50/50 with diesel. In the summer time transmission and hydraulic fluids would be mixed 80/20 diesel. Being mindful not to be one of those inconsiderate punks that purposely annoy people with there smoke I was surprised how little mine smoked. The 80% transmission fluid yielded 1.5-1.7 miles per gallon more than straight diesel.
This was all done with the donations a friend would make from his occupation as a forklift mechanic. I saved him a trip to the Dallas hub to dispose of his oil barrels. It was messy filtering the oil out but worth it. By June of 2008 diesel was over $4 a gallon. Thank's to him my average was less than a dollar a gallon per a 38 gallon fill up.

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
