Den,

Back when these tractors were built and sold, there was no such thing as "hydraulic" oil. We had 10, 20, 30, 80/90 gear lube and bought grease in 5-gallon buckets.

10 weight was considered the norm for winter use and 20 or 30 for summer in both engines and hydraulic applications.

Then, the marketing boys came along and saw that they could make another buck by developing all these "special" oils and lubes.

I still only buy two oils. A drum of the lighter hydraulic oil and a drum of engine oil and use both in everything from the lawn mower to the hoists on my truck.

The iron doesn't care or complain. It is inert and has absolutely no preference. :>)
