Ok, Thanks for the update on the oil.So instead of a 85-90wt. gear oil I should look for a Trans-Hydraulic type oil? Does it come in different weights?

Massey Ferguson tractors built before Multi-Power came on the scene used 80-90 weight transmission and hydraulic oil. Those with M-P use universal transmission and hydraulic oil which is typically 20 wt. The lighter oil can be used in non-M-P tractors, but if the pump is weak, it may not develope as much pressure. Hydraulic oils are non-foaming. Straight gear oil will foam in a hydraulic system.

Whoa, now. Let me get this squared away as I have just rebuilt my pump, replaced all my bearings, and renewed all the seals.....

I am supposed to put something else in it other than what the owners manual reads?

I have realized that what I bought is not proper as it is GL-5 and may cause problems. I have not poured it in yet. I intend to install GL-1 when I get it. Is there documentation to show that something else may cool/lubricate/pump better? My machine is a 1959 Massey 65 gas w/o multi. If anyone has anything on this, please respond prior to my purchasing 10 gallons of GL-1.

There is nothing wrong with using the 80-90 weight hydraulic oil that was originally specified for your tractor. Years ago, we had a 1960 MF 65, which came with the 80-90. A few years later, my father bought a haybine with a remote cylinder, that we ran with the 65. Then he bought a 165 with M-P that had the lighter oil. The head mechanic at the local Massey dealer told us to change the 65 over to the lighter oil so we could use the same cylinder on either tractor.
