well thank you both for those quick and in depth replies! Much appreciated. I think for the tranny, Ill try the synthetic route as well. I remember an old Military Dodge I had with a rebuilt rear diff.... It was so hot after a short ride I was scared. SOmeone suggested the sythetic 90 weight, and by golly, that case temp went down I just couldnt beleive a simple change in oil would change it like that!!
Maybe it will help in my tractors tranny too.
Let me run this by you all....I am running a thicker Rotella oil as well in the engine, to try and reduce as much oil blow by as I can for now... I am running 15w-40...
Could this be part of the issue of lack of power Anyone think so? A heavier oil like a 15w-40 be the reason for less power in an engine?
I may try and go back to a straight 30 weight oil... the previuos owner thought marvels mystery oil might loosen up the stuck rings. It smoked like the devil! When I first got the tractor home, I drained and replaced the marvels contaminted oil with new rotella straight 30 weight oil, and it really stopped a lot of the smoke. To a point where only when the engine was "goosed' would i see smoke. Before, it smoked at all speeds.
The 30 weight worked. But I still had a little blow by, hence my reason to step up to the thicker 15w-40... Maybe it was a bad choice.
Anyway, hopefully I can work through all these issues soon so I can put her to work.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! 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
