[AJD] 35 D

I use Pennzoil 30 wt in all of my G John Deeres. 15-40 may be better oil
but I use it in my Diesel pickup. I figure the 30 wt is better for the
John Deeres. Just my humble opinion. I don't think you could go wrong
with either one, but I would recommend 30 wt as that's what the factory
recommendation was.

Amsden, south by east Montana

Yes, Dee, I do feel good.  Unfortunately I don't have another tractor to
belt to it.  The AR is the next  project.

On the question of which oil to use, it seems to be 30wt vs. 15-40wt.

The head and valves are in good shape.  On one hand, much better than I
expected when I saw how firmly stuck the engine was.  On the other hand
the
engine was gone through and given what it needed less than ten years ago
and
hasn't been used much since.

Yes, things ARE looking good.
