I have a friend who was an Allis Chalmers dealer for over forty years and he swears by putting a quart of ATF in a tank of fuel. ATF has an affinity for water and it will remove water from fuel. It also has lubricating characteristics and will lube the pump. I believe that adding a quart of oil or ATF does not diminish the fuel's ability to produce power,it increases it.Adding oil is adding potential energy,if you ever threw used motor oil on a brush fire you will know the explosive potential energy it can generate,thus in the combustion chamber it is more potent. I would like to hear reasons why some don't believe this. The trucking industry uses large filtering systems to filter used motor oil which they add to their diesel fuel tanks,up to 10% oil in their diesel,a very economical way to get energy from waste. I use ATF in my two diesel tractors,I also use a product called 3in1 Diesel Conditioner.This product contains a cleaning agent that cleans injectors and other components of the fuel system,kills bacteria,removes water and lubes the pump.I don't put ATF in every tankfull,maybe every third or fourth,the conditioner maybe every fifth or sixth tank..or when I think to.I don't have trouble with bacteria and water in my fuel and I've never had to rebuild a pump. Thats my story,others may vary!

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
