Hi guys,
I remember awhile back someone posted about how they converted their tractor (believe it was a Case) to run off of wood gas which, from my understanding, is created by building a wood gas generator and smoldering wood to release the gas that usually burns and causes a flame. This gas is then used to cause ignition in the engine.
My question is, that if there ever was some sort of emergency situation where there was a shortage of gas and oil, what would you use for the engine oil? Are there any alternatives such as plant based oils that can be used in the engine and transmission?
I have been thinking about this for awhile and although you can run a engine off wood gas, if it is long term shortage or complete outage of oil, then at some point the engine oil and possibly transmission oil would need to be changed and replaced with something non oil based. Let me know what you guys think would work or if you know of any alternatives for engine oil.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
