Don't use 90W in hyd.. use non-foaming 20W in hyd.

80-90W (GL-5, EP) has been used in my (fifty-year old now!) WD for ten years with no problems. You will need close to five gallons (and a little patience) in order to top it off. Since the manual clutch and transaxle are separate, joined castings, Allis provides two filler plugs; both are beneath and behind the clutch pedal.

I'm sure the 90w in the hydraulics works, but the higher viscosity would slow things down a bit as well as raise the hp requirement for the hydraulic pump, I think! Do you use external hydraulic cylinders much (harrows, etc.)? Just curious about how slowly they would raise.

The transmission, rear end, and final drives get 80W gear oil. The hydraulic system gets any of the fluids the other guys mentioned.

50 years ago it was 20 wt engine oil. today most people prefer to use something like hy-trans, a hydraulic transmission fluid you can get at Farm Center or Wal Mart. It is a 20 wt hydraulic oil with anti foam and anti water dispersants.

Check out my website and look under tractor oil specs - I have a page there that lists the original oil reccommendation and the amount. Maybe that will help you get started.
