Fisrt let me answer your question. I run 10W-30 in all my tractors. Note: My olderst one is a 47 H and the newest one is a 73 154 LoBoy. How bout that for a match. Anyway, I also have a 53 cub and that is what I run in them all. I think the main reason that all the old manuals say to run only straight 30 non detergent is the fact that if that is all you run and you then change out to a newer oil with the detergent, it can loosen up dirt and possibly clog a gallery. Personally I have never seen this happen, but I believe it could. I run the same oil all year. Here in So. Indiana, it is really hot in the summer and the winters usually have at least one month of really cold. I dont know about your 154, but I have noticed that if I use any thing other than hy-tran in the hyd's, it seems to foam and make the pump cavitate. Hope that helps.
