[AT] It's a Cub! Update

[Almost-Running Deere]

When I tore down my Dad's super C  a couple of years ago it was sludged 
badly, pan, valves, oil pump etc.  In the mid 70s the tractor was rebuilt by 
an IH dealer and M&H pistons and liners installed.  After that we only used 
detergent oils.  He sold it in 88 and I got it back in 2001 so I don't know 
what was used or what maintainance occurred during that time but it didn't 
prevent the sludge from forming!
