Fordson Major Hydraulic Oil

Some time ago, I had replaced the rear oil / hydraulic oil in my Fordson Major. Since that time, the lift arms will no remain up and it appears to have caused leaks around the rear axle seals. Is this due to using hydraulic oil versus another type of oil? What oil type and weight should be used for the rear? Thanks
 
I do not think you can use hyd oil.

I just use straight 30 weight engine oil in mine and never had a prob.

I have a 1963 Super Major

Do not use hydraulic oil, use 30wt oil like Kenneth sugested. I have been useing it in my 1956 Diesel Major without any problems. MJ
