The trans/hyd sump in my 1957 TO35 is full of GL-1 90 weight mineral oil.
Normally this winter I warmed up the engine as I waited for the lift to raise, guess I was used to waiting on the lift.
Yesterday, it was 60 degrees here in KY, I fired up the tractor, pulled up on the lift lever, was expecting to wait for the lift. But, just as soon as I moved the lift lever, the lift started up, I was momentarily shocked, guess I had just forgot how the lift normally works.
I just changed the transmission hydraulic oil two years ago, so I am not ready to drain and refill with 10w30 motor oil.
My plans are to replace the 90 weight GL-1 mineral oil maybe next year,
