your not going to hurt these old tractors. just use the oil related to your weather conditions. for cold weather mutigrade 80-90 is a good choice also. i remember when i was young i had to block the clutch when cranking the w6 to start it. then ease it out after as it would stall the engine. kinda think they had number 140 oil in them back then as it was thick. as for the engine castrol is a very good oil , 10- 30, 10-40, or 20-50. also many use the 15-40 diesel oil. also change the air cleaner oil, 10-30 is good for that. to change the diff oil make sure its done with the tractor warmed up after a work out or a high gear drive down the road for a few miles. then drive the ffront up on a ramp or block and pull the rear drain plug under the pto. , plus there is one under the trans also to drain after. and then u may as well do the antifreeze change also while your at it. drain it block and rad, then give it a water flush some use vinegar in it . and wash out the fins also then blow them out with air, many of these old tractors never saw a rad cleaning. plus check for green spots, and moist spots as that means it has corrosion and its getting weak, check this out before the draining. so good luck on saving the tractor.
