[Farmall] low ash oil

[E. John Puckett]

low ash 30wt is the recommendation in original Farmall cub manuals.    
Of course oils have improved a lot since cubs were introduced in 47.  
Not sure about Cadets.

>> Anybody here a big fan of IH low ash oil in their Cadet? I've got a 2072 that has never had anything in it but that and remember several Cadet customers of the dealer dad worked at that swore by the stuff. I just ordered some from my IH dealer and it is over $6 per quart. I wish their was something cheaper that is just as good. Anybody here found a good substitution?
