I have a good friend that is my Dad's age, who was a Harry Ferguson mechanic when Dad bought our 1953 TO30. It came with non-detergent oils in the motor and the trans/diff/hyd reservior. The mechanic said to stay with that type oil because some oil additives would react with the bronze bushings and cause very slow deterioration. Yes- the owners manual says detergent oil may be used. Dad was faithful to that advice, and now I am too. The engine has good compression(97/100/100/98), does not require any top-off between changes(bi-annual). The engine has never been apart for any reason. Motor oil refiners have reacted to changing technology by improving thier product. Some of the old machine technology used materials not designed for modern refinery products. I use 30W30/summer and 20W20/winter. My TO30 starts every time is these Indiana winters;- hope I've not jinked myself now.

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.
