can't find the weight 80 or 90 I meant

I have been suffering over the issue of hydraulic oil in my 8N and have come to the conclusion that there is a difference between ( Hydraulic oil) and (Hydraulic Transmission oil)

I just put Ambra Mastertran Ultraction Hydraulic Transmission oil in mine and it seems to be doing fine except when I am lifting something heavy, the lift comes up slow unless the engine is reved up a little.

It is sold at New Holland dealers $79.00 for 5 gal. bucket.

See tips 3 & 4 at the link. You have other alternatives.

Google the specs for the super tech oil. Chances are very good that it meets Ford spec MC134.

Standard SAE 90W mineral oil will work fine in most climates...CNH Oil can be expensive as Jack said -$80/5 gallon pail.

The stuff TSC sells is just SAE 90 W Gear Oil and may be the cheapest price-wise. I use to use the 134 Ford/Case/IH/White/ AGCO/New Holland brand but stopped when it hit $50 per 2.5 gallon jug. I switched to the TSC stuff after I put it in a '49 8N job I did for a neighbor per his request, and it worked fine so I have been using it in mine now for 8 years now without any issues. I live in Michigan so we get winter as early as October and late into April/May even. I plow snow for the neighborhood and have never had any lift issues. It depends on how much you want to spend on oil I guess but there is plenty of discussion on viscosities and brands in the archives here...

I have used the TSC Travellers Mineral SAE 90
for years it has always done a good job

I bought 90 weight non detergent mineral oil at NAPA, they have it in gal and 5 gal containers,

Worked fine for me

Many folks replace the 90 weight non detergent mineral oil with 15w40 detergent oil,

At this point in the life cycle of these old tractors, detergent verse not detergent transmission, hyd oil is a mute point

Detergent oil is to be used in tractors with transmission hyd lift systems that have filters

Non detergent oil is to be used in tractors that do not have these filters

You seem to want to lump anti-oxidants, rust and corrosion inhibitors, metal deactivators, copper passivators, friction reducers/modifiers, foam suppressants, and most notably anti-wear/scuff (e.g. EP) additives all into your "detergents" basket. Modern tractor transmission/hydraulic fluids containing many different combinations of those additives are designed for and work quite well in filter-less common sump transmission/final drive/hydraulic lift systems. The same can not be said of engine oils of any grade.
