Hi Walt, When I restored a Farmall A I used 10W30
in the engine after I had installed new sleeves,
pistons, valves, guides and new bearings. I did the engine in the winter months and when spring came I installed the plow and made 3 or 4 passes
across the garden. I noticed the oil pressure
was dropping as the engine was getting to operating temperature. I pulled off to the side
and drained the oil and installed 30wt oil. The oil pressure held after that. This engine and tractor were in sad shape when I purchased it, it is amazing as to how much abuse these tractors
endured. I would only use multi-duty oil in the winter. Good Luck, Hal
