53 jubilee fluids

I'm changing the fluids on my 1953 jubilee and was curious what I should put in for the hydraulics and also is that when connected to the rear axle and the transmission if so should it be a gear lube or a hydraulic oil?
Thank you,

Most folks these days use a UTF that meets or exceeds the Ford/New Holland M2C134D specification in all 3 (trans, hydraulics and rear end). They are 3 separate sumps but the chance exists for the seals to leak between them and lead to cross contamination. The 134D spec is a thin oil (equivalent to somewhere between 20 and 30 weight motor oil) while having Extreme Pressure (EP) additives that provide excellent lubrication in gear driven environments that were only possible with gear oil in days gone by. So the low viscosity provides good flow for the hyraulics and the EP characteristics provide good lubrication for the gears in the transmission and rear axle and provides peace of mind that if the seals leak between the sumps that the same oil is in all 3 so there is no worries that an improper fluid will get into any of the sumps.
 

Yeah! But not all of us. Some of us still want gear lube, like 80W-90 in the trans and differential and 134D in the hydraulics.
 

Most Folks would use a ""tractor rated hydraulic fluid"" that greatly exceeds the requirements of that tractor. Any 303, or j20 fluid would do that at a much lower price than the synthetic blends of the more expensive fluids designed for the newer automatic transmission tractors that came in 1976 and later. Your tractor has NONE of those, does not have the higher pressure/flow pumps that create the excess heat. It would be almost impossible to buy a TRACTOR rated hydraulic fluid that did not GREATLY exceed the requirements of your tractor.
