Phil,
If your engine has just been overhauled I would definitely use detergent oil. For the trans/hydraulics you will need non-detergent to prevent foaming. Steve's suggestion of trans/hydraulic oil for this is excellent. If your engine has not been overhauled recently, just pull the valve cover and check for sludge. If there is a heavy sludge buildup, stick with non-detergent oil. Adding a detergent oil to a sludged up engine will cause the sludge to break up and the pieces can (and usually do) plug an oil passage, causing bearing failures.

Good luck,
Phil

Are you talking about the engine or the transmission/hydraulics?? All oils today ar 100% better than the best you could buy in 1950. Regular engine oil be it straight 30 wt or 10-W30 is o.k. for the engine of your tractor. The hydraulics and transmissions on most use to be 20 w engine oil. Today it is best to use the tractor stuff you mentioned, hydro-trans fluid. This is really a 20 wt oil, but has added features to make it antifoaming, etc. Remember engines run 200 degrees and will boil water off if in the oil. Transmissions and hydraulics may only run 100 degrees and any water will set there forever. The trans-hydraulic fluids take this into account with additives.
