Coobie's reply is a good one, but you'll probably end up getting so buried in all the oil threads over there that we'll never hear from you again.

Your best bet might be to contact the Schaeffer rep or the factory Shaeffer Oil | Industrial Lubricants, Diesel Fuel Additives , and ask them if they have lubes that meet the J-D specs.

Schaeffer has a very good reputation amongst the HDEO crowd - they'll have what you need.

I agree on the schaeffer oil being a good oil.I use it in all of my cars,truck and some of my equipment.I did not want to sway someones view one way or the other since I use schaeffers myself.coobie
