The worst oil on the market today is better than the best oil available in 1953. Even the Walmart store brand is far and away better. You can't hurt your tractor one bit by using the "wrong" motor oil...
Unless you're going to be working that tractor like it was designed, detergent or non-detergent, doesn't matter.
About the only thing important is the weight. With the loose tolerances on these tractors, the thicker the better. SAE30 or 10W30 are good all-around oils. 10W30 has the added benefit of being useful in winter.
I'm still clinging to tradition and using CaseIH Low Ash SAE30. If there is one "right" oil on the market for your old Farmalls, that's the one. My second choice is Shell Rotella SAE30, mostly because the bottle is pretty.
