WMO in JD

Anybody know if waste motor oil can be burned in a 05 John deere 4450? I might have the model wrong, it's a 3 cylinder 45 hp. What ratio is good?

Thanks, Kurt

I wouldn't burn waste motor oil in anything besides the garage wood stove, or a heater designed for it!!!!

Don't know about you but I make my living with my tractors, only clean diesel or refinery made biodiesel is going in them.
The amount of possible problems far outweighs the small cost savings.
Even if you filter and dewater the WMO there are still all kinds of acids and trace metals that can't be filtered out.
Consider what your time is worth filtering and see if it pays.

Thansk guys! I just did a change at my dads and wondered if I could burn it.
Merry Christmas, Kurt
