From 1952 to 1975, we used 10W during fall, winter, spring, and 30 HD for summer, this was for a Ford 8N 1952; For the last 30 years we have used good quality (John Deere, CIH, NH, CNH) 15W40 for tractors. Below 50 °F, I recommend 10W30 or even 5W30 in winter (in Ontario); Above 50 °F, I recommend 15W40; NB : the engine has never been overhauled and is around 5500 hours. IMHO, the problem is the rear oil seal, not the oil. Oil pressure seems low for a rebuilt engine but what about the gauge accuracy, @ ? rpm ? Rlach
