Why not? Just observe the C (compression) or S (spark) rating and the recommended viscosity. I leak more than I burn which isn't much either way. I guess you could just use WW 10-30 S rated in an older tractor without hurting anything. I never investigated the need for C ratings in older farm equipment that didn't have to meet new emission standards for soot, sulphur, Ash, and engine hygiene and all that. Would I do it in my 60's Fords????????? Yes now that I think about it! I already keep that around for my gas lawn mowers so I could just buy extra and use it in the old tractors.

Course with synthetic base stocks, S rated oils should be low on Sulphur and Ash anyway, just get the viscosity to suit you..

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
