Age old question as old as engines have been used. I have 17 running tractors. From 1937 F12 /20,to 197o 1456.I try to use all of them for something during the year. Plus 2 older gas combines,gas grain truck and pickups,car,motorcycle,ATV... I run 15/44 fleet diesel in all of them,everything.Have for over 40 years.Most farmers use the same oil in all thier equipment.Brand is really not important.I have NEVER had an oil related failure. Most are 'high hour' machines.Todays worst oils are far superior to yesterdays best oils. There was no such thing as 'multiviscosity' or detergent oils when the tractor was built.You need to pick ONE oil for your tractors.Again,brand is not important.IMHO,synthetic oil is a waste of money on an old tractor that only gets run a few hours a year.You should change oil yearly anyway. If you start putting a seperate/different oil in each tractor etc,someday you will have a mixup. pouring the wrong oil into the wrong tractor. Especially if the kids or others are around 'helping'.If you have 5 old tractors or other vehicles,each useing a different oil,you're gonna have 5 different open oil cans,plus 5 kinds of unopened cans for adding.You're asking for trouble.So,one oil for all. You can use the same oil as you put in your pickup.Keep it simple.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
